YOu dont need any special software to make them. All you need is a text editor and an image editor. I use Paint and Notepad for the most part. If you hunt around on the Microsoft website you can find a downloadable Software Developement kit. It has all the code samples and stuff that you need to get started. I'll try to find a link but you should be able to find it if you look around on the site. Good luck! And if you need any more help you can email me at jdcerebro@hotmail.com

There's no special software to make skins. You make the graphics in a grapics program like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro or the Gimp

Then you code the skin with an regular text editor. Besides the graphcis, a WMP skin consists of an XML file and a JScript (Javascript) file.

You can find information on WMP skinning on the Miscrosoft link below. Plus you can download the WMP SDK from the link which has examples

WMP skinning documentation:
