Must entries be new? As in, never published before?

Ahh... I suppose I should go read the official rules, first. (Yah, and I'm supposed read the Winamp FAQ before posting here, too).

Interesting... I JUST finished a NEW skin i have been working on for 2 months-
and i was about to post it, but THEN i read
this- should i enter it into the contest?

Or should I post it now and provide everyone with instant gratifictation?

Or can i post it here and enter it at the
same time? (yeah, right... )

I KNOW but that means i cant post it here which i was ABOUT to do right NOW before i read you post! And that means nobody will get to use it for a month! It's killing me!

And furthermore, when it does get released
to the public, winamp 3 will be very close
to release http://forums.winamp.com/ubb/frown.gif I might make another skin
for the contest... hmm

Ok....
I'm working on a skin right now, called X-qwizit amp...I'm not sure about continuing it, let alone entering it in the contest...

This is a screencap----v
http://www.intelcities.com/dead_end_...io/xqwizit.gif


As I said I'm not sure about it so therefore I'm asking for your opinions on it.

so basically...If you guys like it, I will finish it and enter the comp, If not, mwaah...I think I'll let it sit on my HD for a few months and see what I'll think about it by that time... http://forums.winamp.com/ubb/smile.gif

Well I guess I'll continue it then....
Say, I understand that for the skinning contest, the Mikro amp has to be skinned.

I have never used Mikroamp, so I would have no idea how to skin it. Can anyone tell me? A template would also be verrrrrrry nice.

there's a template and skinning instructions included in the MikroAmp download/install. It's really a piece of cake.

THEMike 25th October 2000 10:36

So only a couple of submissions so far?

Prize and fame not leet enough for ya?

Some people are reporting problems with the winampmb.txt stuff.

All I can say is it works for me on 2.65/2.666 on w2k pro, nt4 WS, nt4 server, win 98. All the NT type systems are on a LAN online connect, the win98 was an offline test. All no problems.

It doesn't work on my w2k box with 2.62 tho. I don't think the API's required are in that build.

Jayn 31st October 2000 04:20

It can go anywhere you want to put it Simon, it's 32 x 32 pixels (about the size of a button) in large mode, it controls Play, Pause, and Stop....has hotkey support for a ton of other functions (Fwd, Back, Shuffle, Repeat.....), and supports the Winamp Preferences menus.
