Skinning iTunes 8.0.1.11

Is it possible to skin iTunes 8?

Yes. If you have a mac just open the iTunes.rsrc file in Applications/iTunes/Contents/Resources/

If you're stuck on Winders, however, it's impossible.

#511192

Oh shit really?? Yeah I'm running XP...there's no way huh?

#511193

When you download iTunes, why does it come with a skins folder with themes in it if you cannot apply them?

HUH!! Where? I never noticed it?

Maybe that's the skin folder from installation of Multi-Plugin, you might have installed earlier... for old iTunes?

I know someone (I think on HGUI) ported over Kenzo iTunes to iTunes 8, and it was all done through resources. Still loads and everything.

Yeah but it looks like s**t.

#519303

Still proves it can be done

#519308

Yeah but it ends up looking like s**t either way.

Just takes someone who knows their way around computers to open up a path, so that people with actual design skill can come in and make stuff. I bet the first XP VS' looked like crap.

#519313

Eh, good point.

Just need someone to extract *.qtr files. The traffic lights are in the itunes .qtr file, the other files can be from the Kenzo mod. (objects.xib for moving the buttons to the left, locolizable.stings to get rid of the menu font.)

#519377

Thanks for that info, Björn (not sure when I'll need it, but thanks anyway...!)

Someone would know how to hack the .qtr files? I didn't found out any clue on google, and neither a soft to open it.

As far as I know qtr files can only be opened on a MAC.

Björn, is there a way on windows XP to open and hack a .qtr file?

thanks.

PS: To use custom fonts, the deal is with the iTunesLocalized file

Would this also be possible with safari?

#520941

I don't really know. (firefox user)
