What version of Media Player are you using? That full-screen button is only active when playing videos. You can't get full-screen when playing audio - that's a limitation of WMP itself. If you fire up a video file, you will see the video launch into full-screen if you press that button.

You can't get gapless playback in WMP if you have the songs as track-by-track, which is a huge shame especially if you're listening to trance which tends to be one continuous anthology. The only way around this is to have one continuous track, instead of 11, 12, or however many the album has, or use another player such as Pocket Player or PocketMusic... Which brings me to my next point.

Personally, I use WMP and other players, so apart from planning updates to the skin for WMP, I also plan on porting it over to other media players - the first on the agenda being Pocket Player. And I might just get a WA2 one going as well, since some of you have requested it.

Thanks for the wonderful comments everyone.

That explains it.

I rarely watch video on any screen on the short side of a 32" CRT.

Default Matching

great one Darius. Thanks.
Matched my Mac-style WA2 skin as well with its white-ish look

Things (read: skins) can only get better from here, can't it?

Very nice, any chance for an WM8.5 version for us, PPC2002 users?

I don't see why not. There are very few changes between the PPC2002/WM2003 variants of WMP so there's not much in the alteration of the coding of the skin definition file. I'll work something out soon.
