Windows XP – Den Windows Media Player 10 optisch aufmotzen

Heutzutage wird nahezu alles „ge-pimped“: Rides (Autos), Bikes (Fahrräder), Sneaker (Schuhe) … und noch vieles mehr. Im übertragenen Sinne bedeutet „to pimp“: tunen, aufmotzen, verbessern. Wahre Kenner der englischen Sprache wissen natürlich mehr… Auf jeden Fall ist „pimpen“ wahnsinnig „In“ – und diesem Trend wollen wir uns nicht entziehen:

      

Eidos Software, the game maker of hits Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, Hitman and Co. have created a new epic based on their brand new Project: Snowblind has developed a very stylish skin for Microsoft's Windows Media Player 9 and 10. We will show you how to integrate it into your player step by step:

1. Visit the page www.projectsnowblind.de and click on Windows Media Player Skin. A new window will then open.

              

2. Now scroll to Project: Snowblind WMP Skin and click on the download link on the right-hand side of the section: Project_…zip. The download of the 7.3 MB file starts immediately.

3. Now unpack the ZIP file with a right-click (Extract all) or with an external decompression tool (such as WinAce).

4. Ein Doppelklick auf die Datei genügt und der Windows Media Player wird sofort zum neuen Design umgewandelt. Geben Sie sich einige Sekunden und lernen Sie die neue Oberfläche sowie deren Schaltflächen kennen – mit ein wenig Übung navigieren Sie dadurch schnell und effizient durch Ihre Multimediadateien.

5. To exit the skin, right-click on the Media Player and click on Switch to full mode. In future, you can access the skin by right-clicking on the Media Player again and selecting View/Design selection or Design mode.

Windows-Tweaks wishes you lots of fun with the brand new Media Player skin!
