As planed I changed the buttons on my skin. Here is a pic of the most recent version:

I am running into a few problems. Please help me if you can. They are:
1. The shuffle, crossfade, and repeat toggles don't change the related states.
2. When the player state changes (read: shade, in my case square, panel1, 2, 3) the toggles all revert to unactive.
3. When I zip the file into a wal winamp ignores the main window.
4. I can't figure out how to animate a seek bar that becomes transparent. (I would like to make the red bar volume and have it move in and out like a rod, I can get it to do so by leavinga large white area but that is ugly and not what I want.)

If anyone can point me in the right direction or tell me how to solve the problems above I would be most greatful.

Here is a link (http://wam.umd.edu/~bryceb/square.zip) to a ziped version of the skin due to problem 3 you'll need to unzip it to get it to work.

I made the buttons for this version myself. Look at many a VCR remote and you will see the same layout of buttons. Look at many a car head unit you will find the same buttons.

The first version of the skin used kinwashi's buttons for a quick and dirty layout. I applogied for posting anything before changing the buttons to my own.

Now they are my own design.

Yeah, I totally agree with you.

I wish everybody could stop complaining over this now!
VERY often people begin their skin with parts of other skin/skins, because it is much easier for them...
It's nothing wrong about that, atleast I think!, as long as the final skin doesn't have any of those parts left...

And if people STILL think it is a rip of auriga, do they mean that he cant ever make buttons that are positioned in that way? cuz then it'll be a rip, right?

That's just plain silly!

Sorry if some of you may take this the wrong way, but I think enough is enough now, this skin is very nice and not a rip anymore!

all done :)

I've read several things. It seems to me that it isn't possable without scripts and at the moment I don't have time (mid terms).
