User Overview
To the user, visualizations are images that dance in time to the music. They provide additional entertainment to enhance musical experiences. The more entertaining a visualization is, the better!
Here is what a typical visualization looks like:
Standard Visualizations
Windows Media Player includes several visualizations, such as the following:
- Ambience
- Plenoptic
- Spike
Standard Presets
In addition, each visualization comes with specific presets that alter how the visualization is displayed. For example, the Spike visualization comes in two presets:
- Spike
- Amoeba
Both effects are part of the same visualization, but have different presets. A preset is a set of values for the attributes of a particular visualization.
Skin Attributes
If you create skins for Windows Media Player, you can display the standard visualizations in your skins using the Effects element. For more details on using visualizations in skins, see Windows Media Player Skins.
