Yesss!!!! It's now possible to reskin your walkman, as discovered by Oblivion @ Se-nse
http://forums.se-nse.net/index.php?showtopic=3876

And you can also "pimp" your default "megabass" setting to your own desired value, though I'm still experimenting on it (see post my me, railfanwithk750 on the se-nse forum).

Ladies and gentlemen, the WALKMAN is REBORN!!!

just checked that out. It works - I changed the walkman player background image on my K750/W800 Now we can match the player to our themes.

WHOOOOT!

Nice one! Fixes the horrible orange clash of the player to my themes.

That was a big disappointment for me

I think if you delete the files in the mp folder apart from the settings.xml it will just revert to the old skin as those are internal.

We could try and make a skin similar to the w850 walkman player.

I made a pug skin (posted at se-nse) for the walkman, based on oblivion's work, to match the Pug theme on my phone.

Don't need to touch the settings.xml - simply deleting the files from your MP folder will get ur walkman back to it's original looks.

You answered your own question. Just put 'em in that folder. there won't be ANY of those files in your FS, so you won't find any. If you put files with the right names in the above folder, then they will appear over the top of the existing orange graphics (which are not in your FS, but in the main flash where they are currently inaccessible).
