Affinity Designer - Windows Media Player 11 for Windows XP


Mithferion

Recommended Posts

Hi there!

Years ago, when Windows Vista was about to be launched, Microsoft also launched installers for Internet Explorer 7 and Windows Media Player 11. They did some efforts to improve the UI of both programs.

I was still using Windows XP and I have to say that I loved the WMP 11 Itnerface back then (I used Winamp mostly, to be honest but still...), so I searched for some Screenshots and tried to replicate the UI using Designer. I think I got really close to the original and it's a joy for me doing this kind of works.

I'd like to know if anyone else liked this as well. :P 

Just in case anyone is interested, for some reason, I attached the AFDESIGN File (V1).

I used Inter for the interface text and everything you see is Vector:

Best regards!

thist is a fun project to make, I think

It sure is to me:

  • I enjoy UI Projects
  • I like looking at visual things and trying to reverse engineering them (that's what you do when you draw, basically)
  • I like this Windows Media Player UI. I think it looks pretty

Best regards!

That's one of the Screenshots I used as a reference. But since that's the Windows XP version, it's not using the AERO interface. This is how it was on Windows Vista, with the frosted glass-liked window decoration:
