The design of this clear skin takes its inspiration from the original translucent iMac - the clear colours are (in order), the original iMac colours, Grape, Lime, Tangerine, Blueberry, Strawberry, and Bondi Blue, followed by my own additions of Banana, Graphite and Diamond.
You can also use the Change Device icon at the top left of the device to select classic Black or White, plus my impression of a U2 style video iPod.
Credit to Juan Hernandez (juanchis) for his iPod Media Player skins. They inspired me to try skinning myself and I needed an excuse to learn a bit of XML and JScript! Thanks Juan
I use Xara Xtreme (www.xara.com), to build up the graphics for the skins, which are defined as vector images (apart from the video iPod circuit board in these clear versions), with named colours so that I can create different colourways quickly.
I use TextPad (www.textpad.com) for creating the XML and JScript files.

Didn't have a camera by my side this time,
Hopen i would see the world through both my eyes,
Maybe i will tell you all about it when i'm in the mood to loose my way,

and name the file something like "WMP_Debug_On.reg" then you double-click it to put WMP into debug mode (accept the confirmation messages, naturally).
If you create a copy of the "debug on" file and change "dword:00000001" to "dword:00000000" you can save it as a "debug off" file.
When WMP is in debug mode, it writes out log files for each view of the skin you are using in the directory where the skin wms/wmz is located.

BTW - You've got me thinking about a clear scheme for my skin. Yet another scheme!
Where did you get the circuit-board image from? Is it non-copyright/royalty-free?
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More

I've just released a multi-device iPod skin with a deviantART theme - iPod dA.
I like the clear fluorescent yellow Lime job. Mmmm mm...
Good job with the coding too - runs clean as a whistle
I run WMP in debug mode, and picked up a few things in the log file:
so this means the edit button isn't showing up in the playlist
but unless you're trying to manipulate these properties somewhere, it doesn't really matter.

Incidentally, how do you put WMP into debug mode? I must be missing something obvious ...
Mmm, it's not really obvious.
You need to mess with the registry - if you put the following in a blank text file:
and name the file something like "WMP_Debug_On.reg" then you double-click it to put WMP into debug mode (accept the confirmation messages, naturally).
If you create a copy of the "debug on" file and change "dword:00000001" to "dword:00000000" you can save it as a "debug off" file.
When WMP is in debug mode, it writes out log files for each view of the skin you are using in the directory where the skin wms/wmz is located.
I think there's some info in the WMP SDK.
HTH
