Clean WMP Skin

[racerx]

I would like to iPod-esq my 2125 as far as WMP goes. By that I mean, I would like to have a skin that shows, in a very clean interface, the title of the song, the artist, the album name, position (time) in the song, total length of the song and maybe a value for the volume.
A slider bar showing the position in the song and maybe one for the volume would be icing on the cake.
Anyone know where I can find something like that? I have a skin on my PPC which works, but of course I can't get that to work on my SP.
Thanks for your help.

It's my understanding that the Smartphone uses a different skin format than the PPC. So I'm not surprised that your PPC skin won't work. As for finding a new one, for some reason, WMP on the Smartphone doesn't seem to get much attention from the skinners. I don't think I've seen a good collection of WMP skins.

I believe the format is similar. It's just the layout and skin elements that differ greatly.

I'll get around to creating a Smartphone Thoughts skin - one day.

Well, I would like to be the first to request a "design"!
What I really would like is no real graphics - Mostly just text. Actually, I would be happy with the default background with the buttons on the bottom, etc. if I could have the rest of the screen full with the title, etc (see first post). For video, I use TCPMP anyway and Yahoo doesn't download album art, so none of that interests me.
I have a PPC skin called uPod Silver that I got off of PocketGear for free that pretty much has what I'm looking for on my phone, in case anyone feels inspired.
Thanks.

Is there a document someplace that I can refer to that outlines how to make my own skin? I tried editing the default skin to provide for bigger text, etc. and what I got was no text. Pretty sure I could pull this off if I know how...
Thanks in advance!

I don't know how accurate this is, since it was written back in 2004. Things could be a little different now. Anyway, it's a place to start: http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/fo...pic.php?t=5235

But this IS pretty close. I actually don't mind the default skin, but I would like the text to be much larger. The album art can be smaller and I don't need the ratings stars. And of course the buttons can be darn-near non-existent, since they're only for appearance anyway...
Thanks.

Try here this guy has a few and you could try e-mailing him with design requests. He did a homescreen for me of my girlfriend.
