WMP Skin with Large Buttons?

I have been trying to locate a skin for Windows Media Player Mobile for the past three days. I have searched this site extensively, and so far it seems the options are very limited.

I need a skin that has large buttons which can be activated with my fingers while driving. Also, I am trying to figure out an easy way to select albums while driving. The Library menu buttons are pretty small. Is there a way to skin that as well?

unless you are using WMA files, I suggest Mortplayer. Some great skins available and you can assign hardware buttons to skip by folder to select albums....

My solution when driving is to assign function to the "rocker" on my Axim50.

push right side - next song,
left previous song
middle button in the rocker stop/play
up - volume up,
down - volume down.

WMP also allows you to toggle the screen - but there are not enough ways to assign that function and not to loose the other functions so

I assigned screen toggle application to one of the outside buttons -
it blacks out the screen so not to waste power.

Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks for the help.

I actually started using both MortPlayer and Screen Toggle. I seem to be having a problem between the two though. Screen Toggle works great, except when MortPlayer is the active program. When I try to toggle, the screen goes off and then comes right back on again. When I have any other program in the foreground, or am on the today screen, Screen Toggle works great. Any ideas?

Thanks again!

Mortplayer has its own function to turn off the screen (which you can assign to a button in MortPlayer. I have mine set to keep the screen off "except when necessary" and hardware buttons assigned to open/close, previous/next favorite, play/pause, next, previous track, shuffle setting. The screen turns off after 1 minute and turns back on if I close the program or press the power button....
