Attaching Skin to CLT MPlayer (Mac)

[mac8394]

Hello. I'm using the command-line version of Mplayer (Mac). I don't have a problem with it in playing back movies. I'm using the command-line version so that my GUI app can use it to play back movies. Well, if I send a movie to Mplayer, Mplayer will open a default rectangular media window. Okay. I want to attach a skin.

I know that there are a lot of downloadable skin packages at Mplayer's website. I read here and there that I need to rename the package to 'default' and put it into

usr/local/share/mplayer/skins/

. But my Mplayer won't get a skin. I also read here and there that I need to put a skin package in

Users/User/.mplayer/skins/

. Putting one there doesn't give me a skin. So what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you for your advice.

They are for the GTK+ GUI (gmplayer). Plain MPlayer does not support skins directly, but maybe you'd like to take a look at how SMPlayer and other GUIs built around it work.
