For the past week i have been working on bringing the og windows media player skins into my os. It was quite a hassle, but eventually i managed to get a modular system working where i can add more skins in the future(stay tuned).

For those who want to know how i pulled this off: there is a website - https://wmpskinsarchive.neocities.org/ with all the og skins in their original .wmz format. As it turns out the .wmz is basically just renamed .zip containing all the assets, although the assets are a mess - there is like 30+ images in .bmp format, some scripts, and magenta masks so you have to manually assemble it in photoshop remove the masks and get it to look good. Then you have to play for a while with your css file to correctly position and scale all of the buttons n stuff and thats it. I dont recommend anyone trying this shi😭

note: the reason some of the songs sound weird is because i used bitmap version not to mess with copyright scanning bots
