nah i tried this a couple times, didnt work :(

[IWEBProductions]

@JoshskaterXD Well you see this video was made in 2010. Windows 7 service pack 1 came out some time ago and probably updated the .dll version. So really I'm not sure if it works anymore but if it doesn't then that is the reason.

I wish I had good things to say about Windows Media Player like I do about Windows 7 but I don't. No matter what version you use, Windows Media Player continues to disappoint. I have long since abandoned the heinous program for the more streamlined yet powerful VLC Media Player.

Why do I hate it so much? One word: "wmpshare.exe". If you don't know what I mean, believe me...keep using Windows Media Player and you will eventually.

[IWEBProductions]

@txmoney I don't see any wmpshare.exe when I run Windows Media Player. What is that supposed to be? Some kind of network sharing? Anyway WMP sole purpose is for music and VLC sole purpose is for videos, for me that is.

cool Theme man, Mind Sendin the link? and also the link for the top dock :) thanks, and appreciate the vid

[IWEBProductions]

@basoom7 Can't quite remember because I don't use it anymore. Maybe if you're lucky you'll find it in the comments

***********READ THIS************ THIS DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE FOR UPDATED WINDOWS 7 (I.E. WIN7 SERVICE PACK 1) THEY HAVE PATCHED IT. IF YOU HAVENT UPDATED YET, UNCHECK YOUR WMP AUTO UPDATE OR REVERT BACK SO THAT YOU CAN USE THIS SKIN. I TRIED IT LAST YEAR IT WORKD BUT WHEN I UPDATED ITS GONE. AND WHEN I TRIED IT AGAIN IT ENDED UP IN ERROR AND HAD TO REINSTALL WIN7 JUST FOR WMP. THUMBS SO PEOPLE CAN SEE!!!

[k00lAhmad]

hey i did all but it shows an error that, the file wmploc.dll has a version number of 12,0,7600,16415 where 12,0,7600,16667 was expected.

what should i do now...?

[legendofsmoke]

Actually this still works, you just need to get resource hacker program, to edit the version number in the wmploc.dll file, i came across it when i migrated ti win7 ultimate service pack1.
