It is pretty but I've been spoiled by the other skinners who give their stuff away. Not there have been many since we changed from WMP7.1 :bawl:

Yeah, I find it amazing that something like a Pocket PC skins has to be bought. US$5? I don't think so. Not for a skin. $2 maybe, but not $5.

Moved to the announcements forum since it's an advertisement (I didn't realize he was selling it).

I'm in the same boat. In the past, I've enjoyed downloading and installing free skins, whether it be on the PC or Pocket PC, which is why I've never sold any of my creations just so I can use it as a way to return the favour to the community. That's just my two cents though. Whether someone sells their skins is entirely up to them. There's a reason behind everything, even if it means using it as a way to pay off the rent. And whatever the reason, I respect anyone's decision to release a product of theirs for free or for sale.

But I do agree that there aren't many Windows Media Mobile skins available. It's ironic because Windows Media is packaged with every Pocket PC, yet it's probably one of the only media players out there with the least amount of skins available for download. :?

Good Morning All,

Perhaps I should clarify why I decided to sell this skin. At first I decided to post it for free over on the Aximsite.com. In 1 days time I received 100+ views, approx. 75 downloads, and a grand total of 1 thank you. I worked on this skin for around 20 hours, and I pay for the bandwith on the site it is downloaded from.

I did not mean to anger anyone just because I am a bit bitter. That being said, here is a link to this skin for free for a limited time:

Thank you. Ive just downloaded it. Unfortunately I have no idea how or where to install it. Also is it just for WMP10, or WMP9 too.

The simplest way to install it is to have the files stored in a folder of its own (e.g. Plastic) and have that folder stored in \Program Files\Windows Media. It should appear in the Skins menu of Windows Media once you restart the application.

The code used in the skin file is tagged with "Pocket WMP Skin File v9.0.1" which is used to signify support for WMP9 and above. Therefore, it should be compatible with WMP9 also. And looking at the rest of the code used, there aren't any exclusive WMP10 functions supported in the skin (with the exception of VolPercent, which shouldn't stop the skin from working since it's a minor "render-only" limitation), so it should work without a hitch.

I joined this forum just so I could say thank you for the skin. I also wish I had a tenth the artistic ability that you seem to enjoy.

Thank you again,
