Default change WMP object look in PP2003

Does anyone know how to change at least the background color of Windows
Media Player inserted as control?
Thanks,
Vlad

You can draw a box the same size and put it on top of the control background.
It will disappear when the video plays.

If you are only playing a sound, you can eliminate the visualization portion
of the player simply by clicking on the top and dragging down as if you were
resizing the control.

The control properties do not have settings for changing the background
colors:

No, it can not be changed, and for very techie reasons, you don't want to.

Thanks for the advice. It works.
Indeed, I found that at least a background color during playback in
slideshow mode can be changed in WMP options. This setting keeps when a WMP
object is inserted in PP presentation.
