Skinovi su dugo bili glavna komponenta media playera otkako se Winamp 2.x pojavio na sceni 1998. (prije više od deset godina!). Windows Media Player 7 bio je prvi Microsoftov^(Microsoft) softver za reprodukciju medija koji je podržavao skidanje kože, a sada su se otvorila vrata. Budući da je Windows Media Player 12 unatrag kompatibilan s većinom skinova koji se vraćaju na Windows Media Player 9 , postoje doslovno stotine kompatibilnih s Windows Media Playerom 12^{(Windows Media Player 12)} maski koje možete birati i mijenjaju se brže i lakše nego cipele (čak i sandale). U ovom vodiču ćemo vam pokazati kako primijeniti skinove kao i preuzeti skinove s interneta^(Internet) .

Primjena već instaliranih maski

Windows Media Player 12 dolazi s nekoliko prilično vanilija pretpakiranih omota, ali nude dobrodošlu promjenu tempa u odnosu na standardni prozor Now Playing . Da biste aktivirali jedan od njih, kliknite Prikaz^(View) na traci izbornika u biblioteci programa Player^{(Player Library)} . (Ako ne vidite traku izbornika, pritisnite CTRL-M. ) Odaberite ^(Choose) 'Skin Chooser' .

U prozoru Skin Chooser vidjet ćete popis instaliranih skinova s ​​lijeve strane i pregled odabrane kože s desne strane. Također ćete vidjeti malo informacija o autoru kože ispod pregleda. Da biste nanijeli kožu, odaberite je i kliknite "Primijeni kožu"^{('Apply Skin')} .

Nakon što to učinite, automatski ćete biti preusmjereni na Prikaz kože^{(Skin View)} . Svaki skin će imati drugačiji izgled (ponekad radikalno), ali sve bi osnove trebale biti tu. Tretirajte to baš kao što biste to učinili s prozorom Sada se igra .^{(Now Playing)}

Vratite se na biblioteku^{(Player Library)} igrača klikom na ikonu "Prebaci na biblioteku"^{('Switch to Library')} , pritiskom na CTRL-1^(CTRL-1) ili klikom na Prikaz^(View) i odabirom "Biblioteka igrača"^{('Player Library')} .

Preuzimanje i instaliranje skinova

Skinove možete preuzeti izravno s Microsoftove web ^(Microsoft)stranice Windows Media Playera^{(Windows Media Player website)} . Pristupite ovome klikom na vezu u prethodnoj rečenici ili klikom na "Više skinova" u ^{('More Skins')}prozoru^(Window) za odabir kože^{(Skin Chooser)} . Također, dok ste ovdje, možete kliknuti X za brisanje odabrane kože.

Također možete kliknuti Alati^(Tools) i odabrati Preuzimanja^(Downloads) i skinovi^(Skins) iz Player Library .

Microsoftovo^(Microsoft) web mjesto dobar je izvor za skinove jer možete biti sigurni da će biti kompatibilni i bez virusa. ( Nazad^(Back) u Windows Media Playeru 7.1^{(Windows Media Player 7.1)} , postojala je potencijalna sigurnosna prijetnja^{(potential security threat)} povezana s skinovima, ali do sada se nisu pojavila veća izvješća o virusima koji su se ušuljali u Windows Media Player 12. Ipak, najbolje je igrati na sigurno.) Od travnja 2010.^{(April 2010)} , Microsoftova^(Microsoft) stranica izgleda ovako:

Da biste preuzeli skin, jednostavno kliknite vezu Preuzmi^(Download) na web stranici.

Zatim odaberite Otvori^(Open) u dijaloškom okviru za preuzimanje datoteke .^{(File Download)}

Windows Media Player će vas upozoriti da 'Datoteka može sadržavati skripte ili pokušati pristupiti informacijama u vašoj biblioteci'^{('The file may contain scripts or try to access information in your library')} i pitati vas želite li otvoriti datoteku. Recite Da^(Yes) ako vam je ovo ugodno. U osnovi^(Basically) , sve ovo govori je da će datoteka kože (koju pokreće XML datoteka) imati pristup vašoj biblioteci^(Library) kako bi povukla medijske informacije za prikaz u načinu rada kože^{(Skin Mode)} . Kao što je gore navedeno, ovo je imalo potencijal za zlouporabu prije mnogo verzija, ali sada nije veliki problem. Neki će vas skinovi zapravo pitati kada pristupe medijskim informacijama vaše knjižnice . ^(Library)Ovo obično nije razlog za zabrinutost.

Nakon što kažete Da^(Yes) , Windows Media Player 12 će preuzeti datoteku, a zatim će vas (ponovno) upitati želite li 'Prikaži sada'^{('View Now')} . Vi to činite.

Sada će Windows Media Player 12 automatski aktivirati skin koji ste upravo preuzeli. Ako ste instalirali jedan od modernijih skinova s ​​animiranim aktivacijama, opustite se i uživajte u emisiji prije nego što ponovno dobijete kontrolu nad svojim Playerom^(Player) .

Ako se u ovom trenutku još uvijek osjećate paranoično zbog toga što skripte imaju pristup vašoj biblioteci^(Library) , samo naprijed kliknite Datoteka^(File) i odaberite "Izvanmrežni rad"^{('Work Offline')} . To će spriječiti Windows Media Player 12 da emitira bilo kakve informacije na web. Međutim, to će vas također spriječiti u strujanju glazbe^{(streaming music)} ili pregledavanju internetskih trgovina.

Posljednja napomena, iz bilo kojeg razloga, kada otvorite Windows Media Player 12 skinove izravno iz Firefoxa^(Firefox) , dobit ćete poruku koja kaže 'Windows Media Player je naišao na problem s datotekom maske. Datoteka kože možda nije važeća'^{('Windows Media Player encountered a problem with the skin file. The skin file might not be valid')} . Ovo je obično rezervirano za slučajeve kada koža nije kompatibilna s Windows Media Playerom 12^{(Windows Media Player 12)} (tj. dizajnirana je za Windows Media Player 9 ili neku drugu raniju verziju). Ali čak i ako je koža kompatibilna s Windows Media Playerom 12^{(Windows Media Player 12)} , ovu ćete poruku dobiti s Firefoxom^(Firefox) . Ipak, to nije razlog za uzbunu - kada otvorite svoj Skin Chooservidjet ćete preuzeti skin na popisu s lijeve strane. Neobična zamisao koja dodaje dodatni korak, ali nije velika.

Zaključak

Preuzimanje i primjena skinova u Windows Media Playeru 12^{(Windows Media Player 12)} prilično je jednostavna stvar, ali to je jedan od najjednostavnijih načina da drastično promijenite svoje medijsko iskustvo. Windows 7 je posebno uglađen kada je u pitanju izmjena između maski, stoga slobodno isprobajte brojne skinove dok ne pronađete onaj koji vam se sviđa.

How to Download, Install and Apply Skins in Windows Media Player 12

Skins have long been a staple of media players ever since Winamp 2.x buѕted onto the scene in 1998 (over a decаde ago!). Wіndows Media Playеr 7 was the first Microsoft media plaуer software to support skinning and now the floodgates have been opеnеd. Bеcaυse Windows Media Plaуer 12 is backwards compatible with most skins back tо Windows Mediа Player 9, there are literally hundreds of Windows Mediа Player 12 cоmpatible skins to choose from and they are qυicker and easier to change than your shoes (eνen sandals). In this tutorial, we'll show you how to apply skins as well as download skins from the Internet.

Applying Already Installed Skins

Windows Media Player 12 comes with a few fairly vanilla skins prepackaged, but they do offer a welcome change of pace from the standard Now Playing window. To activate one of them, click View in the menu bar from the Player Library. (If you don't see the menu bar, press CTRL-M.) Choose 'Skin Chooser'.

In the Skin Chooser window, you'll see the list of installed skins on the left and a preview of the selected skin on the right. You'll also see a little bit of information about the author of the skin below the preview. To apply a skin, select it and click 'Apply Skin'.

Once you do so, you'll automatically be taken to the Skin View. Each skin will have a different layout (sometimes radically so) but the basics should all be there. Treat it just like you would the Now Playing window.

Switch back to the Player Library by clicking the 'Switch to Library' icon, pressing CTRL-1 or clicking View and choosing 'Player Library'.

Downloading & Installing Skins

You can download skins directly from Microsoft's Windows Media Player website. Access this either by clicking the link in the previous sentence, or by clicking 'More Skins' from the Skin Chooser Window. Also, while you're here, you can click the X to delete the selected skin.

You can also click Tools and choosing Downloads and Skins from the Player Library.

The Microsoft website is a good source for skins because you can be assured that they'll be compatible and virus free. (Back in Windows Media Player 7.1, there was a potential security threat involved with skins, but so far, no major reports of viruses sneaking their way into Windows Media Player 12 have surfaced. Best to play it safe, though.) As of April 2010, the Microsoft site looks like this:

To download a skin, simply click the Download link on the website.

Next, choose Open on the File Download dialog.

Windows Media Player will warn you that 'The file may contain scripts or try to access information in your library' and ask you if you want to you open the file. Say Yes if you're comfortable with this. Basically, all this is saying is that the skin file (which is run by an XML file) will have access to your Library in order to pull media information to display in the Skin Mode. As noted above, this had the potential for abuse many versions ago, but isn't much of an issue now. Some skins will actually prompt you when they access your Library's media information. This isn't usually a cause for concern.

Once you say Yes, Windows Media Player 12 will download the file and then prompt you (again) regarding whether you'd like to 'View Now'. You do.

Now, Windows Media Player 12 will automatically activate the skin you just downloaded. If you installed one of the fancier skins with animated activations, sit back and enjoy the show before being given control of your Player again.

If at this point, you're still feeling paranoid about scripts having access to your Library, go ahead and click File and choose 'Work Offline'. This will prevent Windows Media Player 12 from broadcasting any information to the web. However, it'll also stop you from streaming music or browsing online stores.

One last note, for whatever reason, when you open Windows Media Player 12 skins directly from Firefox, you'll get a message that says 'Windows Media Player encountered a problem with the skin file. The skin file might not be valid'. This is usually reserved for cases when the skin isn't compatible with Windows Media Player 12 (i.e. it was designed for Windows Media Player 9 or another earlier version). But even if the skin is compatible with Windows Media Player 12, you'll get this message with Firefox. Still, it's no cause for alarm - when you open your Skin Chooser you'll see the downloaded skin in the list on the left-hand side. An odd quirk that adds an extra step, but not biggie.

Conclusion

Downloading and applying skins in Windows Media Player 12 is pretty straightforward stuff, but it's one of the easiest ways to drastically change your media experience. Windows 7 is especially smooth when it comes to swapping in between skins, so feel free to try out numerous skins till you find one you like.
