running Linux Mandrake 9.1 most of the time and Win98 SE.

While we're on the side topic, below are some of my favorite Winamp skins for the moment. Notes:

- skin names in ALT text for IE users
- slow going for 56K users - sorry
- that Sony stereo skin ("ExpensiveHi-Fi") is also in my list
- I usually don't use or display my equalizer because it takes up so much space
- most of these designs don't deviate very far from the original layout, the point being to keep the buttons clear and accessible

I checked winamp.com and can't find that Sony skin, is it an old one. Or am I not looking hard enough?

Visit the Basement

Winamp.com has crap skins. Go get all your skins at:

http://www.1001winampskins.com/

You'll find that Sony skin there and more.

Look at my message just above yours. That Sony skin is actually called "ExpensiveHi-Fi" and is in fact available at winamp.com; I should know since that's where I got it from.

I never once said that the skin wasn't there; I said Winamp.com has crappy skins. Yeah there are a few good ones but the majority of them are just Skinner specials. 1001Winampskins has, IMHO, a better quality of skins.

>I never once said that the skin wasn't there; I said
>Winamp.com has crappy skins.

I wasn't replying to you, but to AdLib. However, you thought I was replying to you instead!


>Yeah there are a few good ones
>but the majority of them are just Skinner specials.
>1001Winampskins has, IMHO, a better quality of skins.

Just my own two kopeks.
Well, there's a line I have to draw personally between works of art and what you call "Skinner specials." There are some very dramatic examples at 1001, and I definitely appreciate the time and talent put into them. But at the end of the day, I always go back to a certain style. If you were curious to visit my little collage of favorite WinAmp skins (posted earlier), you might deduce that my utmost priority is functionality. I can't be bothered to remember all the keyboard shortcuts for WinAmp, so the buttons on the faceplates have to be clear in appearance and intent. Winamp.com has given me a small but useful pile of skins that let me do my thing just fine...

Again, function over form is why I also prefer WinAmp 2.x over 3.x.

In case anybody is wondering, this screenshot reflects my use of WindowBlinds 3.5, a shareware GUI skinning utility for Windows by Stardock. The skin is called Saphardana, one of about five dozen I rotate on a daily basis. I quite like this one, but it's more subtle than flashy. I have others that are very dramatic...

Since I have power to burn for this sort of esthetic application, it was worth the $20. Among other things, it takes care of that jarring background for the icon names by making it transparent against the desktop graphic.
