New tutorial: Skinning the Smartphone 2002 Windows Media Player March 27, 2004 [MS Smartphone] | By anonymous 1. The standard player in MS smatphone - Windows Media Player - lets you play WAV, MP3, and WMA files and You can even give Windows Media Player any look you want and match it with your Smartphone´s custom Home Screen. So personal customization of Microsoft smartphone goes beyond home screen and includes many elements of GUI and applications. Only Windows Mobile cell phones provide such high level of customization on the market nowadays! 
the Smartphone´s Media Player is simpler than that of the Pocket PC´s and more so when compared to the desktop PC´s Windows Media Player. The main difference of the Smartphone´s implementation when compared to that of the Pocket PC is that the controls are already mapped to the Joystick/D-Pad which does away with the need for mouse or stylus controls. Because of this, the main controls are limited and simply straightforward requiring less components. So what is the minimum requirement for a Smartphone Media Player skin? Just these four files: wmplayer.bmp, pushed.bmp, disabled.bmp, and wmplayer.skn. While the Media Player supports GIF files too, the skin we´ll be working on will be in BMP format. To read the tutorial (from which above quotes in italics come from) click here. Conclusion: to customize skin of your Windows Media Player just edit some *.skn files and put together some files in BMP format.
