Does any one really use ObjectMedia (DXplayer)?

Published on January 28, 2009 By Murex In DesktopX

I'm curious does any one really use the Object Media player that skinners supply with their DXthemes. I run Vista and it seems like more and more of the components of the player have stopped working. Along with a few other things that doesn't work such as the system tray. Hopefully stardock will fix the system tray but they haven't really done any thing with the Object Media player and I doubt they will.

So should a skinner take the time and effort to include it in their themes?

I just made my first Xion player to match my last skin. I love it!! It works so much better then the DXplayer so that's what I will be making from now on to go with my skins.

How hard is Xion to skin? Do you need to know script or code? BTW, congrats on the promo!

Each control is a seperate layer named for a control.

If I can make one, you can.

Thanks Jim for the congrats.. Nope you don't need scripts. If you can use layers and groups make graphics and read you can skin Xion. And it's a lot more fun and you can do more with it then the DXplayer. If you want to try it and hit a rough spot I'll be glad to help any way I can.
