Changing Plugins to utilize Zune instead of Itunes

Post by Ehrgeiz X »

So, i've been wanting to change some of my skins to better suit my needs (aren't we all?)
Now, the default is that these skins come setup to work with Itunes, but I dont use Itunes. I use Zune. How can I change this? And if anyone has any plugins to help me along the way or tips or tricks to get the most out of the plugins I already have (I just got Rainmeter and have been toying around with it for the last 2 days)

Please and thanks, guys.

If I remember right, the Zune uses Windows Media Player. There are a few skins out there that work with WMP. Here is a basic one:

In order to control WMP you need to be familiar with the Window Message Plugin.

Well, that's a pretty good step in the right direction, but i'm still having some trouble with sealing the deal. Now, I'm trying to get this to work with Arcs and a new one i downloaded, Shihai Suru. Shihai Suru is built entirely as a music control device, but i'm still having trouble getting it to sink in and do what i'd like it to do. Any guidance or steps maybe that can help me to get this done? It would help me to learn to do it myself.

Could you give me a link to the skin in question? Would help tremendously in figuring out the problem.

Well, I'll work to convert this for you. Won't take long just don't have the time at this exact moment. Just so you know, It won't be able to show the long progress. If there is a code for that it is currently unknown.
