Description: The Skins Factory was contracted by Microsoft’s Windows Media and Xbox divisions to create the 
Official Xbox Skin for Windows Media Player. Inspired by the look and feel of the popular Xbox game console, the 
Official Xbox skin has its own innovative style that remains true to the branding and identity of its “real world” counterpart. 

"The Skins Factory has done great work developing this stunning new Windows Media Player skin for Xbox fans," said 
Jonathan Usher, Group Manager of the Windows Digital Media Division at Microsoft Corp. "With a stylish look inspired by Xbox, 
a compact size, and custom visualizations and animations, this skin is a great way to experience streaming game previews, 
soundtracks, and gamer interviews on your PC."

Please note: There are distinct differences between the non-XP and XP versions of the skin. 
Both skins feature different display backgrounds and different player button areas. In addition, 
the XP version has a longer introduction animation which utilizes the power of alpha transparency..
