Most Attractive And Easy To Use Photo Viewer And Movie Player?

[joko]

For my portfolio i have a slideshow, a showreel and a way to navigate through the photos individually

but i find sometimes these programs are very functional and plain and don't look that 'nice'

so i wondered if anyone knew of any programs - free or paid - that look good, nice, professional, classy etc - i mean the 'interface', nice colour, nice controls etc - perhaps even ones that can be customised?

they are to play on my own laptop so it doesn't matter if they can be emailed etc.

Thanks all

My preferred media player is GOM:

I'm perfectly happy with the way that it looks but, for those who aren't, there's a whole library of 'skins' for it:

Similarly, the mighty VLC

has alternative skins:

Even Windows Media Player can be personalised in the same way:

The best image viewer (by far) is Irfanview:

It allows you to change the background colour for images and/or to install skins for the toolbars.
