[The feature associated with this page, Windows Media Player SDK, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer. MediaPlayer has been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

The following lines show a typical Text section of a skin definition file:

//  <Type>       <Location>     <Align>  <Font>          <Color>

//  ------       ----------     -------  ------          -------

    Time         180,46,50,30   Right    Tahoma,16,N     255,255,255

    Playlist     3,46,175,20    Left     Tahoma,10,N     255,255,255

    Track#       10,68,40,20    Left     Tahoma,14,N     255,255,255

The preceding example defines three text display boxes that show the current time within the media item, the current playlist, and the current track number.
