Real player appearance

Hi Spyros. To change the way realplayer looks you have to change the player's skins. To do this right click on RealPlayer and choose 'Show Package Contents'. In RealPlayer/Resources/Contents/Resources, find 'growBoxDown.png', 'growBoxUp.png' and 'playerWindowBackground.png' and change them to whatever shape, color or texture you like with an image editing application like Photoshop. I just made a brushed metal theme and if want to try it out you can find it here. I am also thinking of making an aqua theme and maybe some color variations. Let me know if you have any particular ideas in mind that you think might look cool with real player.

Thanks Dott! Real player looks so nice. It's got a bit of a futuristic retro look and I really like it! Looks 100 times better than before. A black liquid skin might also be a good idea. Really looking forward to the aqua skin 😉

Here's the link to the aqua skin I've been working on: White Aqua Skin. A black aqua skin sounds like a good idea 😉 I'll post some more skins when I get them ready.

Here's another one I just did. A bit shinier, a bit sleeker, more OSX-like without the side bars and real player logo. Sorry Real 🙂

Here the link to upload the skin: iReal Skin. Four files will be replaced (just follow the simple instructions from the 'read me' file if you are not sure how to do this). Enjoy 🙂

Wow! Realplayer with the iReal Skin looks just great and is in perfect harmony with the OS X system design and I think it actually looks better than the Quicktime player now. It would be nice if Apple came up with a new Quicktime player design and maybe get rid of the brushed metal effect which in my opinion is starting to look a bit outdated, just like they did with iTunes. Well done Dott and thanks so much for sharing 🙂

No problem. Glad you liked them 🙂
