So I just downloaded DMP today and out of what I have tested it is easily the best in my opinion. However I wanted to download/create themes for it and found out that it is no longer under development per it's homepage at http://www.dragonminded.com/?inc=projects/Projects
Now I did find a few themes on http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Homebrew_apps/DragonMedia_Player but nothing that really caught my eye... From what it looks like all I would have to do to make custom themes is to find a theme layout I like and then swap the JPG image files and put new ones in a new theme folder, easy enough. I'm sure I could do a custom layout, but dont feel like editing XML or whatever is used in this case.
Before I take the time to make a new theme I am wondering what the rest of the community uses for AUDIO files on the Wii. If your selection does well with video too that is a bonus but I've been very happy with GeeXBox for video though it has a long startup time.
*MiniMP3 Player didn't work for me at all (got an error)
*MPlayer CE was very slow working with large directories
*MPlayerWii was too basic and not a GUI if I remember correctly
Audio Player wants:
-Dark Theme preferred
-Random play option
-GUI (not dos-like)
-Volume adjustment would be a plus but not needed
-Visualizations also a plus but not needed
-Read from USB is a must
-Read from DVD would be a plus
Last note, I've been trying to use Orb (www.orb.com) which is a utility that streams audio/video/images to a custom homepage that is accessible from the any internet accessible device including the Wii however I believe that the slow connection from my Ninty USB WiFi connector is preventing this from working properly.
Still with me here? Cool, post your thoughts! Thanks much!

Description: Was an attempt to dabble in an object oriented model of media players. Frustration with information hiding amongst the inner circle of Wii hackers lead to my abandonment of the project. Wasn't really going anywhere anyhow, so nothing was really lost.
