The SlingCommunity and Brandon C. are thrilled to announce a long awaited tutorial on how to create your own SlingPlayer skins!

Finally, with a little time and effort, you can customize the look and feel of your SlingPlayer window in any way you desire. You can change the look of your player in docked mode, full screen mode, or the look and feel in all modes!

You will be amazed with everything you can do.

You can change where the buttons are, the way they work, and even add or subtract them. You can have a player that looks, works, and feels exactly like you like.

If you are looking for ways to customize or personalize your SlingPlayer, you've come to the right place!

Now anyone can make or modify a skin, and we encourage you to express your Sling style by making your own. Plus, you can share it with the rest of the community! 

Download the tutorial, roll up your sleeves, and start creating your dream SlingPlayer!
