There is a new application available which allows the user to change the skin of the Zune Software. Its very easy to create your own custom made skins also. SkinYourZune requires some manual procedures, but it works...
First of all download the following stuff: You'll probably need Winrar or any compatible program for rar archives (download it here http://www.rarsoft.com). Extract ResHacker (e.g. in c:\program files\ResHacker). Then extract and run SkinYourZune. If you get the error:
"Run-time error 339: Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid" then press on your keyboard win+r and write in the prompt: regsvr32 \windows\system32\COMDLG32.OCX You may don't have the comdlg32.ocx file, so extract it from the ComDlg32.rar file you downloaded (you only need comdlg32.ocx) into c:\windows\system32 . Then run the above command again. When the SkinYourZune starts it will ask for ResHacker.exe . Point it where you saved ResHacker before. If it asks you for ZuneLoc.dll , it is located in c:\program files\Zune . Now you are ready to change your Zune Software's theme. The application uses 5 images, one for each area: bottom, left side, right side, top and minimode. You can create your own skins using the default you downloaded as a guide. This program comes straight from the Zune Community. SauliusM created it based on previous work by Pr0x!e. Of course keep in mind this application is still at its beginning so it could harm your Zune Software, better keep a backup of the ZuneLoc.dll file before using it. Find more on Zuney.net
