Hey...
 

Just wanted to drop a line...just recently got into Winamp skinning, also just submitted my first one, it's a Slipknot one...got sick of all of the skins where it looks like the makers didn't use any brains to create them...mine really isn't something all too special, but check it out when it's posted, it'll be called 47 - Slipknot - 47...i'll be around...

Post a screen shot of your skin cause it will take around 3 to 4 weeks to be published.

By posting a screen shot we can at least give our thoughts.

Ciao:cool:

Ok, here's a screenie, all feedback is welcome, thanks...

dude, its a skinner.exe skin. therefore, its poo in my mind. try using mspaint to edit those bitmaps and customize the buttons. the skinner just give them shitty see-though buttons that dont give aesthetic value to the skin

i know it's a skinner.exe skin, i have done a lot of psp6 customization on it from what the skinner gave me, it's not finished, i still have some work to do on it, i'm trying to see if i can get the broswer to open up my own mb file right now...thanks for the feedback though...

Purity, download Mikroamp and write an HTML file and name it winampmb.txt and place it in the director/zip/wsz of your skin. Mikroamp will look for it and default to that page.

OR

You can write a file called mb.ini in which you will have to read up on cause damn if I can ever remember what you're supposed to write in there

Awsome thanks...i did some drop shadowing and other little things to make buttons and such stand out better, so it doesn't look like just a transparent layer..it's getting there...thanks...

The problem with this skin is that unless you make drastic changes to it...it will always look like a skinner.exe skin (and you'll always take flak for using a skinner).

My suggestion to you is...start again.

Download the template.amp, and go crazy. I personally would prefer to see a skin that had no artistic merit but was made by hand than a skinner.exe skin.

Anyways good luck for whatever you decide to do...and at least you're in the right place for all the help you'll ever need of skinning Winamp.

Ciao John:cool:

yeah, you definately got to work more on this one, but it's got potential (even though the band slipknot doesn't).

btw Kiwi, where can i get template.amp

Download it here

There are heaps of them around...but I find this one to be the best.:cool:

whats wrong with slipknot?¿?

Whats right with slipknot????:D :D :D :cool: :D :D :D

Their fucking grown adults performing with clown masks on their head, pretending to be radical except that all they are becoming is mainstream. :mad:

i dont care what they do, coz i like their music...
so what if they act like idiots :D:D:D

i see your point tho

There is history in the masks, and besides, they're only in their 20's...now Ozzy Osbourne is an adult...

Once its been done, its done with. Especially something that extreme.

and of course you must be right. :rolleyes:

just like all of us might be right

c'mon ladies, settle down.:D

people are allowed to have an opinion and not be questioned on it

the people who insist on questioning everyone's opinions are only trying to force other people to conform - the more people they can persuade into their way of thinking, the more reinforcement they have that their own opinion is the correct one, whether it is or not

in this particular situation, its quite silly. why would you even want to change someone's taste in music? does it affect your life?

i think i sorta understood what u just said
