Yes, there IS a programming bug
The author decided to include a line of code for using the "ratings" option. I'm pretty sure that this option only works in WM6, so this piece of code is what caused the amnesia with the skin selector. I deleted the code block for "ratings" and the skin now works perfectly!
Here are the fixed .skn files, just extract them and replace the existing ones in your WMP 11 skin folder, you can also delete the image file that starts with "ratings" Enjoy!:approve:
