Windows Media Player 11 SDK New for Windows Media Player Skins 

New for Windows Media Player Skins

Windows Media Player 7.0 introduced skin technology. The available elements and attributes remained unchanged for Windows Media Player 7.1 and Windows Media Player for Windows XP. Windows Media Player 9 Series introduced new elements and attributes you can use. Windows Media Player 10 introduces one new attribute.

Each topic in the Skin Programming Reference section includes a Requirements section that lists the minimum requirement for the individual element, method, event handler, or attribute. The following list also details the new items for particular versions of Windows Media Player.
