What would you make it look like...and do?

My Look:
-First, I would enable 3d skin support. Imagine if you had it look like a sphere and you rotated it around to display all the parts...main interface, equilizer, etc.
-Second, I would allow for Everything to be configured to your liking (ok, you want the pause button before the play button? cool! Hmmm, only the playlist to show when you open Winamp? cool again! ...etc)
-Third, I would have an option to turn docking on and off. Why haven't they had that switch on winamp before? I hate it when I want a itty-bitty space between the edge of windows and winamp cause it looks better that way (I think, I've never been able to get too close to anywhere without it doing that)
-And some other small things...like allowing for gifs to be used in a skin

Mine Will Do:
- http://forums.winamp.com/ubb/smile.gif Support ID3v2 tags
-Have a much simpler plugin interface...(ok, which one did just install?)...something to show which ones are recently installed and maybe an ALL category
-Dam(n), brain-wedgie, can't think of any more!

Any other ideas???

hi ybom,
the docking can be turned on and off in winamp. options->preferences->options->display->snap window.
