Windows Media SkinsWindows Media Skins have been around for a while now, ,many people create them and stick them on the Windows Media Website and people download them to their Windows Media Player . Skins are a truly different experience to the standard Windows Media Display pictured below (this is Windows Media Player 11)
This is what happens when I enter 'Skin Mode'
Just look at the difference between the two, you can change the skin to any particular theme, whether it be World of Warcraft. 
Or perhaps Back to the Future???
The majority of these skins are created by The Skins Factory, this company born in late 2000 have continued to bring new interactive skins to the Windows Media Platform, of course Microsoft do create a few but Skins Factory do the most. You will want to head over to the Link and go through the choice, click on the blue hyperlink to download, once you do this a small dialog window will open asking you to open Windows Media Player, once you do this the Windows Media Player Window will automatically turn into the skin you downloaded. To access Skin mode from the normal Windows Media Player window: Press 'CTRL+2' To return to full mode: Press 'CTRL+1' To choose which skin you wish to display: Click 'View then 'Skin Chooser' For those of you who are interested, not to mention experienced at doing this, you may wish to check the MSDN site article about creating skins. Don't attempt this unless you are confident you know what you are doing
