It works 50%~ with iTunes 6.0 and MP 2.2 if you rename the folder.

But could you make a updated version?

I adjusted the skin to work with iTunes 6.0 and also fixed the mini mode.

I hope that's ok?

btw, it's a rar archive even if the extension says zip...

great, thanks :)

just one thing - you shouldn't have named the folder 6.x.x.x, but something like 6.0.x.x. I doubt a complex skin like this will be compatible with iTunes 6.1 and up.

does anyone know where the bitmaps located for this are: http://img314.imageshack.us/my.php?image=trash6wj.png

Unfortunately Multi-Plugin can't skin this element.

yes I know, but do you know the name of the resource or where it can be found, so I can reshack it or something, thanks for the answer localhost

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.

SheepShaver i'm working in the update for version 6 of iTunes, at least you could send a message by asking for authorization since the majority of the buttons aren't make it based on screenshots are made by me with authorization of Brian Zeitler, a little message is always welcome, taking into account this the next time.
