Question [Q]New Media Panel Background

Hello,

Does anyone know how to change the media experience panel background (add new styles beside the squares, icons and reeds), is there a cab or something for this? i think it would be nice to have other animations...

I don't think there's anything out there.

Sadly, panels seem to be falling by the wayside. Poor execution on SE's part.

i haven't found any way to do this and honestly I don't even think it's possible. If you look into \progra files\panels\MediaExperiencePanel you'll only find an .exe and a .dll . My guess is everything is locked up inside the .exe , making it in some sort of a "black box".

Default I think there's hope

Dont get your hopes up too high, but i have seen the customized MediaExperiance. It had a radio thing along the others, a nice one actually. it also had the time in the lower corner. So i think that if someone was able to add new features, then it can also have the color/background changed, and other animation added.

I beleive this version you're referring to is an actual official new release from SE. I have it running on my phone and it's posted on the Panels thread by grab: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=498934

As different backgrounds were possible on the UIQ3 version of the media player it should be possible to tweek the backgrounds of the WM version.
However I have no idea how they hacked the UIQ version, so can't offer any solutions.
