Okay, I finally got enough time off from work to finish my newest WMP skin.  It's called Slim because all it is is a thin frame around your video.

I may not get a chance to do anything else for a while.  I'm starting school a week from tomorrow and what time that doesn't take up, work will.

Oh well.

Man, I haven't had time to do much of anything recently... I just started a new job and that's taken up most of my time.  I had all these ideas in my head for WMP skins but they've had to be put on hold.  I hope to bring some of them out soon (like before school starts) or else I'll have no time at all to work on them.

Also, it seems like each time I check my page views go up by 11... it was 255, then 266 then 277 now 288...

Well, I hope all eleven of you like my shit and comment a lot!

PS- My room reeks like PineSol right now because my roomate's idiot girlfriend tried to flush a tampon down the toilet, causing it to back up.  Then she left it there... the whole floor a mess and only two days after I cleaned the whole damned thing.

Okay, I made the WMP tutorial!  It's not as easy to understand as I had hoped, so you need to know how to make a basic WMP skin.  But this tutorial makes it easier for anyone who wants to to understand how to make your own resizable skin.

I figured out how to do resizable windows in WMP7, as you can see.  I'm gonna make a tutorial so other people can make their own resizable skins...

Look for that in the future.

...Haven't updated this Journal dealie in a while...

I'm still waiting for the outcome of the trillian skins contest.  I still really like my design (although I am a bit sick of the sight of it after doing so much work on it).  It's too bad for me that there were so many other good skins submitted.  With Gemeni and Siderado my chances of winning pretty much went out the window.

It was a huge learning experience, though.  Now that I'm more familiar with XML, I may try a WMP7 skin with......... A DAMN RESIZABLE VIDEO WINDOW!
