Windows Media Player Skin is free to mention that Windows Media Player can be said to be no one, no one knows, this big name is not only full of functions, but also the interface is quite gorgeous. Especially its skin adds a rich color to our life. There are many very beautiful Windows Media Player skin, which provides us with a lot of choices to increase our personalized pursuit, but you have thought that you have a skin. You will say that this is very difficult. Yes, it is really not easy. But we can't make it easy to make a good skin, you can see it, you will see: Windows Media Player's skin (appearance) file generally default in C: / Program Files / Windows Media Player / Skins In the folder (where c represents the disk drive letter where Windows Media Player), you can see a file with many extensions .wmz, these are the skin (appearance) of Windows Media Player, each file is Skin (appearance) of a Windows Media Player. It can also be said that it is a compressed package, which contains a bitmap file, a PNG image, a JScript script file, and Windows Media Player's appearance file. What we need to do is to modify bitmap files and PNG images to achieve our personalization. Ok, the goal is clear, let us act! First we first figure out the name of the skin to be modified (Figure 1), click "Appearance Selector", select a look ready to modify, then write down its name, then enter C: / Program Files / Windows Media Player / Skins This folder, where the file is corresponding to the external selection list in Windows Media Player, we find the name you just recorded, here we will modify the appearance of miniplayer.wmz as an example. In order not to damage the original appearance, we can copy miniPlayer.wmz into a temporary folder, here we copy it into "My Documents" and then modify it. Maybe you will find that you will open Windows Media Player as long as you have a pair of hitting, and you cannot modify it. It doesn't matter, since it is a compressed package we use compression software to open it, the specific steps are: select the file, then hold down the "Shift" button, right click on the file, select "Open mode ...", in the pop-up " Open mode dialog box (of course, other compressed / decompressed programs, for example: winzip), if not in the list box, you can click the "Browse" button to select the compressed / decompressed program, but the premise is There must be compressed / decompressed programs (Figure 2) in your machine. (Note: Do not select the radio box in front of the "always using the program that is always selected")
(There is also a trick can also open it, it is changed its extension to .rar or .zip, then open directly, but finally will change it back.) After opening it, you can see the files contained there. Generally, according to their English name, you can know what the image corresponding to the file is. Similarly, you can also double-click it directly, preview it with its associated viewing program. Of course, if you are not very good in English, you can only decompress look at ^ - ^ (as shown in Figure 3). Here I chose the mini_frame_bkg.bmp file (interface background file) to modify, first extract the file into "My Documents", then use the Windows Open it with the drawing program (or other image editing program), at this time We can change directly, for example: I use text tools to enter the "Dabin Zhuang Town Industrial Park Management Committee Office". After that, save it as the original format and name, then add it to miniPlayer.wmz (or miniplayer.zip) to overwrite the original mini_frame_bkg.bmp file (specific method: in the compression / decompression program Select Add, then select this file, click OK to " Finally, we will change the miniplayer.wmz file (name can be fixed) to C: / Program Files / Windows Media Player / Skins This folder, such a new personalized skin (appearance) is born (eg Figure 4). Double-click on it to see your labor results!
