How do make the video window resizable in WMP?

November 8, 2003 6:21 PM from

And playlist(tho I havnt tried yet)....I can get the video window to tile but not resize and the video itself stays the same size.I tried to open a WMP skin that had resizable windows but they dont even show in the WMP folder,just the ones from microsoft and ones I made.....I set the video size to stretch to fit control but it didnt work.Skin is complete once I finish the playlist and video windows.

Ok,the vidoe itself will resize(with the horizontal and vertical placement option of all things,not exactly intuitive) but the background graphic dosnt have any margin options so it wont resize,just tile or no tile.

Unzip mi Command-Skin http://zzo38computer.cjb.net/wmskins/Command-Skin.wmz and look at that to use as an example.

Appreciate trying to help.It is resizable but its a normal window,it was skinned by WB's.The file was computer code so it made no sense to me.

SS wouldnt open it of course and it dosnt show up in WMP folder.(a lot of skins dont,even with show hidden folders checked)I'm trying to resize aWMP video window(like in some of the SkinFactories WMP skins.SS cant seem to do this.(yet).I dl'd the WMP SDK but havnt checked it out yet.
