Barry Windows Media Player Skin
Introduction:
This skin has been created for Windows Media Player 7.0 and above. I've no
idea what happens if you try it with an earlier version, I'm afraid.
(Frankly, I barely know what happens with this one - it's the first I've
done!!) The goggles will display whatever visualisation you've got set and
the wings will retract when you click the symbols on Barry's anorak. The
white space is actually all transparent, but it made it easier to see if I
captured it against white.

If you don't know which version of Windows Media Player you're running,
check the option Help --> About. This skin only works when the Media
Player is in the small mode.
The main graphics were scanned from a web-based Barry I found, but the
microlight, goggles and 'tash are my own work. The reason I went down this
route is that I based the skin on an existing one. It made a lot more sense
to work within the strictures of the existing skin rather than blundering
around randomly and I think it turned out OK. I did all the graphics
tomfoolery with Adobe Photoshop 6.0.
Obviously, the copyright for the original artwork remains with Marillion,
and this is repeated in the readme file. I've also cleared it with Lucy
Jordache, Marillion's Marketing and Communications Manager that I can
distribute these skins. Feel free to pass them about where you please, as
long as you retain the original readme with it.
I have spent quite a lot of time doing this, so I'd come in my pants with
joy if you would be kind enough to sign my guestbook and just leave a quick
comment. Preferably an insult free one...
Left Click the ZIP icon below, and choose 'Save Target As' to download the
file. Save it into the Skins directory for Windows Media Player (prob
C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\Skins) then on the main screen select
the skins options and it should be obvious from there
