When I first started using a computer I used to play all my music on Winamp Player. And as a kid, I was obsessed with all the interesting skins that came along. They were all the rage those days. I used to change them frequently and enjoy the new look and feel. I am sure many of you can relate to this.
- Alpine Skin For Windows Media. Download32 is source for alpine skin for windows media shareware, freeware download - Original Series Tricorder Windows Media Player Skin, JymAmp, 9 Media Player Art Skins, MGTEK dopisp, Zero MusicPlayer, etc.
- Download the Ursula skin for Windows Media Player. Our aim was to complete an old list of Windows Media Player skins we created quite some time ago: Top 7 Windows Media Player 12 Skins in 2010. We know there are tons of great skins out there and our lists are by no means comprehensive.
However, most of us have moved on leaving that child in us behind. Though we still like beautifying our desktops with widgets and themes, I don't see new content on the internet these days on media player skins. Today, just to refresh my memories, I tried applying skins on Windows Media Player and my joy found no limits.
So, I thought I should put down the process and you could take a dive into your memories as well. All skins support the basic functionalities and some of them have additional features too, to my surprise.
A skin applied to a remoted Windows Media Player control can access the PlayerApplication object using another global attribute called playerApplication. Because the Player.playerApplication property cannot be accessed by skins, you must use this global attribute when you want your skin code to manage docking and undocking.
Steps to Change Skins on Windows Media Player
Step 1: Of course, you will need to start the Windows Media Player. Click on Start and type Windows Media Player to bring it up.
If you are in Now Playing mode, you should switch to the Library mode by clicking on Switch to Library.
Step 2: Navigate to Organize -> Layout and ensure that Show menu bar is ticked. If not, do it right away.
Step 3: On the menu bar, click on View and then on Skin Chooser. This would bring up the interface where you could select different skins, view/apply them, remove or even download new ones.
Step 4: Select a skin from the left pane (preview is available on the right) and click on Apply Skin if you like it.
You can download (must be logged on as the administrator) more exciting ones by clicking on + More Skins and following the instructions on the website that follows. Here's the official page for Windows media player skins.
Note: To return to the player Library at any moment, right-click anywhere on the skin and select Switch to Library.

Anyway, I downloaded a skin for Media Player 12 and now none of the skins work. Well, all I get is a white box in the shape of the skin and if I hover the mouse over the correct places I can use the controls. If I click on skin chooser the player stops working altogether. A window appears saying that Windows will stop the program and search for a solution.
Someone told me in this forum to uninstall Media Player from control panel under turn Windows features on or off but it didn't work. Evidently this doesn't actually uninstall Media Player, it just deactivates it. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
I promise I will keep in touch. I would like to thank whomever helped the last time, I shouldn't have left you hanging. Dolog Akf Software Store. By the way, I am running Windows 7 64 bit home premium. Hi davidfoust, Do the downloaded skins appear in Windows Media Player even after reloading Windows Media Player from Programs and Features? Please verify the same. If they do, try deleting all the downloaded skins apart from the default skins that come inbuilt with Windows 7.
To do so: Click the View menu, and then click Skin Chooser. If the View menu isn't visible, you'll need to show the menu bar by clicking Organize, pointing to Layout, and then selecting Show menu bar. In the left pane, click the skin that you want to delete, and then click the Delete selected skin button. Change how Windows Media Player looks using skins Once you delete the skins you downloaded, try reloading Windows Media Player from Programs and Features following Vijay's suggestions. Restart the computer after reloading WMP and check if the default skin works.
Download WMP skin from the link below. Verify if the new skins work. Regards, Shinmila H - Microsoft Support Visit our and let us know what you think.
