i have to use sudo cp and etc commands because for some reason ubuntu
recognize this folders for root user only meaning he said your not the owner
even though i am the sole user of this computer so copy pasta is not a
possibility and the strange is that no skin
had default folder so i need to create the path manually  like this:

sudo mkdir /usr/local/share/mplayer/skins/default sudo mkdir
/usr/local/share/mplayer/skins/default/skin and then cp /home/ofir/blue/*.*
-a /usr/local/share/mplayer/skins/default/skin and etc.

i tried all sort of combination i'm not sure about the -a maybe i need to
use something eles but this is the only way it managed to copy and i copied
the skin several times to /usr/local/share/mplayer/skins/default/ area but
still when i write in terminal gmplayer i get a messege that the skin file
is unreadable and that is why i think that better instructios would be a
good idea.
