Before somebody scold me, I would like to ammend my request made a short while ago
I know I know... I should read the threads before complaining.
All right, Multi Plugins did not install because i was running y'dock.
I temporarely stop it and sucessfully install the plugins, which now works perfectly!
Thank you to Lochalhost for the awesome job!! and sorry for the trouble caused guys!
Keep It up Mate!!

Yes. C:/Program Files/iTunes
I can extract all the files from the installer if someone can tell me where they need to be placed and if I need to do any registry alterations

How is it possible to skin the visualization bar..
The bar with the blocks going up or down...
I have skinned all the related elements available... but it hasn't changed.. is it a bug?

I''ve explained a possible method for doing it in another thread:

well there's a .PICT file somewhere inside iTunes.qtr that contains it.
You can try the following steps to change it:
1) Open C:ApplicationsiTunesiTunes.ResourcesiTunes.qtr in PE Explorer.
2) Extract the EOF portion of that file and call it, let's say, iTunes6.EOF. That's the main resource file of iTunes.
3) Use a Mac resource editor like ThemePark (in a real Mac or PearPC), and extract the LCD image from iTunes6.EOF. Let's call it LCD.PNG.
4) Now edit LCD.PNG as you wish, but make sure you back it up.
5) If the file size of the original LCD.PNG is larger than the file size of the new one, this method won't work. Otherwise, open iTunes.qtr in a hex editor.
6) Using the hex editor, search for the contents of the original LCD.PNG.
7) If the file size of the original LCD.PNG is different from the size of the new one, replace bytes starting at the offset you found in step 6 with zeros (not the 0 character, but hex zeros) - the number of bytes that should be replaced is the file size of the original LCD.PNG.
8) Paste the conents of the new LCD.PNG to the offset you found in step 6.
After saving iTunes.qtr, the visualizer background should be skinned.
I know it's a complicated process and requires a very good hex editor, but that's the only way that might work for now.
btw, recently I've found a new technique for dynamically changing stuff in the .qtr files without depending too much on the iTunes version - I'm using it to identify the fonts in different places so I can change font colors. When I have the time, I'll try to use that method for changing the LCD image as well.

Can i use Resource hacker instead of Themepark?
Does this apply to iTunes for windows too?
The way is a bit complicated... but i'm sure its possible to do

This is only for iTunes for Windows. In a Mac it's a lot more easy. And yes, you must use a Mac resource editor like ThemePark.
