In a nutshell, you need to find where in this particular skin suite you need to enter your music player name.
What I noticed after I installed this lcars skin is that there is a README button and LCARS SETTINGS button appeared among other various interface elements.
The README files describes how to change settings including how to point lcars to your media player.
In the LCARS SETTINGS there is PERSONAL DATA AND APPS button, and clicking it you will see the MEDIA PLAYER option.
As README file describes, the MEDIA PLAYER option will display a tooltip bubble with the options which you can enter.
As you see, I figured it out purely by walking throuhg the skin iterface itself, without any prior knowledge. Prior experience with developing skins helped me a bit with the intuition part, but not with operating and dissecting through his particular skin. Well, I actually got lost in it, as it looks to me like a large command center with a lot of various visual elements. I would say that changing something in this particular skin requires knowledge of this particular skin.
Nobody deserves to get frustrated with changing something as simple as setting your media player in a skin. Unfortunately, you picked a heavy duty here. I would say, on average skins weigh few megabytes or less, and some heavy skins go up to 10-20 megabytes.That lcars skin and it weights 600 megabytes.
All skin developers have a total freedom how to organize things there. Changing something as simple as the media player name is not hard in nature, but various developers will choose their own way to structure things around, where the confusion may arise from. As I said, you picked a heavy duty skin here. I assume your confusion might be stemming from using this complex skin.
Some skin developers develop a skin that lets you change all available settings through a visual interface. Other times they will gather all the settings variables in one place in the skin files and you would need to edit that file with a text editor. Usually explanations are provided on the page where you obtain that skin from.
There's a learning curve with Rainmeter if you want to edit or fix skins, but as I said, it is not hard to open a settings window and choose your media player, or open a text file and change a variable like MyMusicPlayer= to "Winamp". Some basic computer literacy would be helpful definitely. Yeah, you don't even need to know any fundamentals or know how to develop skins to change some simple setting like that. And usually developers at least provide instructions where the variables are stored or give you visual clue how to get there. And when you install a simple skin, you usually have one or two .ini or .inc file that would take you few minutes to go through and find those variables.
I hope this helps you.
