Yes, as a skin designer, that is my biggest issue with WMP. It does not allow for full screen skin mode. I would love to have the extra screen real estate to work with. Actually, WMP's skinning engine is very limited compared to the other players. It gives you very few funtions, tag options, etc...
I would also like to see the screen layout change if video/cover art are not present. Currently if you define an area for video/coverart, then playback some music without cover art. You have a blank hole. Ideally the text would slide over making more room for it. Similarly if you play video it would be great to be able to define the whole now playing area as the video area. But, again, that would not work if you tried to playback music, you wouldn't have any space for tag definitions.
Damn limitations... I use it though because it plays back protected WMA files without issue. It works well with my Rhapsody subscription.
This skin gives you the looks of an iPod, but WMP is in no way as slick as one.
