do you have any skins?

gmplayer -Skin <skin name>

You need to get a skin from Mplayer webpage, then unpack the file you download and put all the files (that are inside the unpacked folder) and copy to: /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/default/
If you want to use others skins, you can put them on ~/.maplayer/Skin

Well the problem was the wrong path of the skin ....

Don't know why but I have putted the skin in /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/default/skin/
instead of the RIGHT place /usr/local/share/mplayer/Skin/default/ ... anyway ...now everything is working great ...

I'm sorry I've lost your time because of my *lame* mistake .... sorry again ...and thanks

Don't worry, we all have mistakes-
