Change the background of Windows Media Player 12
There are by default 7 backgrounds in WMP which can be changed by editing Registry.
Now, how to actually place any wallpaper or picture as WMP background.
You will need Restorator 2007 to edit few things.
1) Run Registry Editor and navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences
2) Search for a DWORD value named LibraryBackgroundImage
3) Change it to 0 to 7 and see the effect. only 0-7 are valid data for this DWORD value.
Now, change it to 6
Go to C:\windows\system32
Look for wmploc.dll (back it up, and take ownership)
Open it with Restorator
Navigate to 257
Now look for LIBRARY_BACKGROUND 7.PNG
Right-click, assign to any pic in the format given i.e jpg
Any resolution and bit will work.
