Windows Media Player 9 With Classic look
Can anyone tell me how to get just the square box look from Windows Media player 9 with the blue bar across bottom with controls on it?
I knew how a while back and changed it on all my computers and now I have another one looking stupid and I can not remember what I did. Attached pic will be up in a few. Thanks Last edited by Stanman242; 19th February 2009 at 04:21. Reason: clarify title |

Most people forget that WMP is fully skinnable, although Vista WMP11 comes with only basic skins unlike previous versions, the exta skins like old Toothy etc have to be downloaded. If you right hand click on the black bar at the top where 'Now playing', 'Library' etc is, and then click on view --> skin mode, it goes to the screen you are talking about. There are basic skins available that make it look streamlined.
WMP 9 and 10 have all these options in terms of skins as well, the selection method is also pretty much the same from memory. |

Note that as an end user you don't need to SetAndLockSkin - you just would have wanted to switch to that Classic skin in the Skin Chooser in the player. But for an IT deployment, SetAndLockSkin would be useful.
