Winamp & Shoutcast Forums - New to Winamp and would like to make a skin

Hi all

I am new to winamp and love many of the skins on offer to download. I am a big fan of many bands and artists and would love to design some skins in their tribute, but would love to learn how.

Due to ill health I will be in a postion of having a lot of time on my hands over the next months and this could be a good project to keep me occupied. How do I get started etc and what software is needed.??

I want to start with one based on my hero Bob Dylan unless one already exists that is. I would like to hook up with someone who could take me through it and I could show them how I am progressing etc.

Many thanks

ps if any body has a Dylan based skin I would love to use it.
