Color Me Video and Windows Media Player

Windows Media Player is the Microsoft Operating System's native player so it is probably used more often than any other player. As reviewed on the Color Me Video: The Players page, the video overlay color preferences for Windows Media Player is a dark purple or plum color. This color is not ideal for viewing videos as desktop wallpaper using the video overlay color.

Using using the video overlay color, Windows Media Player is not as versatile as the VideoLan player. The Windows Media Player does not support minimization while playing video files such as .avi, .mp4, etc. It does support DVD play back while the player is minimized or when using the tool bar feature.
