you can purchase these as well:


OK love the skins but do they support landscape ??. I really need a nice landscape skin. also I tried buying these off pocket gear but I got an error everytime I went to confirm the order, I have tried doing it on my PC and MAC but when I add it to the cart it comes up as a ZERO amount then lets me get all the way to confirm order then says there's an error, all my details are correct. if it supports landscape is there another way of getting it ??

Orientation Portrait


//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
[ Bitmaps ]

You can delete the [ Bitmaps ] line, I just use it as a marker, then delete it.

Apparently, WMP is looking for these lines in the .skn file. I don't know why, but it worked for all of the wmp skins that I had previously tried to use, but couldn't.

Now, if I could only figure out why some of the skins are the size of a postage stamp! Anyone figure out that one yet???

I really can't believe you figured out how to use skins now. Now, I'm also wondering how I can make these skins bigger. Like you said, they are really tiny. What should I do to fix it? I have this really cool skin that I really want to use, but it is like 1.5 inches by 1 inch. Too small. HAHA Thanks for the help!

I create and sell skins on Pocketgear.com and have recently begun testing them on WM5. Only one of my four releases actually works with WM5.

It is available in VGA here or in QVGA here.

I am currently testing all of my skins to try to find out what deviation in the skin file is causing problems. I will post my findings here when complete.

In the meantime, if anyone else solves this problem please contact me.

Thanks,

Solsie: I bought the Tweak VGA skin and tried your method, but WMP couldn't find it. It could, however, find the one you attached to your post above. How do you get this to work? I bought a couple of skins and can't get them to work.

Are the same guy who made the skins I bought???

Hello all,

Those of you that are having problems with the skin showing up small are trying to use the QVGA skin with a VGA device. By changing the Dimensions in the header you are tricking your device into thinking that it is a VGA skin, but all of the graphics files are still QVGA size.

For those of you that are trying to get this skin to work on Windows Mobile 5; I have been working hard to try to get my skins to work with this OS. I can alter the skin to get it to work with some devices (x50, x50v w/ upgraded OS) but have had problems with other devices (x51v).

If you have the wrong size skin for your device please email me at jmckinney@twistedpixels.com with your purchase info (purchase site and your email) and I will get you the correct skin. If you are trying to get this skin to work on Windows Mobile 5, then please be patient while I work on a release for this OS. I will do my best to get you a temporary fix until a updated skin is released.

Thank You,

Josh McKinney

ir803,

That's a great looking skin you have there. Care to share? I also use the Axim in the car (sort of a car PC setup)

Thanks

One of the big points of confusion is that the links from windows mobile media player 10 go to skins for older versions of media player that are not really designed to work on WM5 (most of the skins listed have been around since Windows Media Mobile 7 or so). It seems to be messing with a lot of people.

Great skin ir803.

I love MortPlayer, I just wish it would play Napster to Go tracks and I would start making skins for it again.

Mad

I too have similar issues using WM10 on my Axim X51v. It doesn't seem to matter where I place the skin files, they do not show up in medial player's selection screen. I have tried placing them in their own subdirectory under Program Files\Media Player, and alone in the media player directory one at a time, but no luck.
Very frustrating.
