"taskbar" mode

[Eric]

When running Media Player in "taskbar" mode (when you minimize and a control
bar is placed on the taskbar with basic controls) -- can the view/skin be
changed? The new default MP scheme is difficult to see on the taskbar, and
I'd like to switch to a simpler color scheme.

Thanks!

No, this isn't readily possible in that the 'taskbar' skin is built into a
binary using a slightly modified form of WMS. In order to replace any of
the details of that 'taskbar' skin you'd have to modify the binary resource,
which won't work very well.

This whole idea/suggestion has been bandied about, and we'll see what
happens in the future, provided there ever isn't four zillion things to do.
