Someone should fix the current skins included in Windows Media Player 10.

95SeriesDefault
Atomic
Bluesky - OK
Canvas - OK
Classic - OK
Compact - OK
Corporate - OK
goo - OK
Headspace
heart - OK
iconic - OK
Miniplayer - OK
Optik
pyrite - OK
QuickSilver
Radio - OK
revert - OK
Roundlet - OK
Rusty - OK
splat - OK
Toothy - OK
Windows Classic - OK
Windows XP

The ones marked without an 'OK' are the skins that have boundary boxes too
big than the actual skin. This can been seen when you drag/move the player.
Especially 95SeriesDefault skin. It's really distracting and confusing when
am trying to align the player on my desktop and there's many other windows
about.

To clarify, only the skins QuickSilver, Compact, Revert, Corporate, and
9SeriesDefault are included in Windows Media Player 10. The other skins
were previously installed by your Windows Media Player 9 (or previous)
install.

But I personally didn't experience this problem - overlaying the skinned
player in normal skin mode on top of a background window sent the mouse
clicks along as it should have. Or: the non-visible skin areas did
interfere with transparently clipped window regions.

What's the configuration of one of the above skins that causes this
conflict?

Hi KC,

Look, the solution to your problem is simple, just minimize your media
player and relocate it on your Windows' taskbar, no need to worry anymore,
it's that simple. But wouldn't it be nice if there was some sahara animal
design on the WM10 skins, say ... a Zebra pattern, or a Leopard or, an
Antelope and of course you could try the Apple approach, providing a set of
high class designer colors and textures of the fashion savvy WM10 user and
hey, since their so well off, charge them a fee for downloading the skin. Why
not give it try.
