How-To: Skins for iTunes 6 [Windows]
This post was published 4 years 4 months 29 days ago which may make its actuality or expire date not be valid anymore. This site is not responsible for any misunderstanding.
Prior to the release of iTunes 6, I had planned for an iTunes 5 ReShacking tutorial. There were already plenty of tutorials floating around the net for “recoloring” iTunes on OSX. Once again, Windows users were left to sulk in the corner as OSX users were provided ’skinning’ options for their favorite player.
Seeing as though iTunes 6 hacking with ReShacker is a little too involved for the average user, I’ve decided to re-recommend a stand alone plugin which allows for quick and easy skin changes. Back in July we covered a great plugin by the name of Multi-Plugin for iTunes. Aside from minor font tweaking, and application identifying optiones, the plugin offered the ability to switch between skins on the fly without restarting the application.
I recently discovered a handful of new skins which you may find appealing. Some of you may be happy with the default iTunes layout while others may prefere a little change from time to time.
In order to apply skins to iTunes 6 you’ll need to download the Multi-Plugin from here. Once the plugin is installed, check out a few skin options here. The screenshot above is iTunes 6 with the ‘Milk’ skin. Download the skin of your choice and drag the unrar’d folder(s) into C:\Program Files\iTunes\skins and check the Multi-Plugin preferences from within iTunes to find your skinning options.
The skin links don’t work . . .
Link works fine…
Anyone know the default font for iTunesm I really dont like the Lucida Sans and I forgot what is the default font for itunes.
i did as the instructions say and it’s not working for me..
How do i apply new skins to the multy-plugin for a new look please tell me!!
it says above: C:\Program Files\iTunes\skins
Okay all of u guys ARE CRAZY!!!!!!
listen and i will tell u how it is done
1. download and install the mutiplugin from aqausoft forums.
2. pick a skin and download the .zip or .rar
3. Extract all of the files in the zip or rar to x/Program Files/iTunes/Skins !!do not make another folder-winzip/winrar does this automatically!!
4. Open up iTunes, go to edit/ preferences/ multiplugin and select the skins from the list.
it Will apply automatically and u should be set
i hope this helps all of the idiots who couln’t figure
it out.
I downloaded the skins and extracted them, but it doesn’t show it on my iTunes skin list, it only has default, mac osx, and mac osx enabled.
Are there any other skins that this works for?
dave did you check the following link that was included in the above post?
http://blog.osx-e.com/category/itunes/
followed the instructions above and it wont work still
can you please tell me a good site for skins for itunes 6.0.1 ??
i cant find a way to download the Multi-plugin, i click on the (Here) link and it wont work. Help Me!!!!!!
hello i have the same doubt as Seur-Wai, iTunes’ default font is a lot better than lucida so if you could get the default font’s name, it should be thanked.
DOES THE PLUGIN work for windows?
Try re-reading the title of the post.
Good Job chelsea, looks like another “no child left behind”
ok so, is there an update to the plugin somewhere? i believe i got a newer version of itunes.(or older for somereason)
and its taking forever for the installer to find an update.
