Does anyone know where I can download a Skin for windows Media player that is a perfect black? or if not black, close to it? I want it so I can maximize the player and have about a 2x2" video going in the middle, and the current Windows media player doesn't allow it. If you don't know where to find it.... my next question is... how would you go about making one of these skins? is it hard to do? I've heard of people doing it... PLEASE HELP, PLEASE E-MAIL ME (or PM me if you are lazy like me)

Thanks,

ThE KeEp

Microsoft has a free download Windows Media SDK which you can use to develop new skins. There are also tutorials and a chat. I haven't used them but you might want to check it out. Go to this site and click on "creating custom skins. You should find lots of information.

They also have a skin called Main Street that is almost all black. It might be easier to just modify it.
