How do I use Skins?

LewyM · 21st December 2000, 21:59

I have just started to download skins from the net. When I get them, they are .zip files. I run Winzip to extract the files, but all I get are loads of small .BMP's and one Text file. How do I use skins??!!!
PLEEEEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!

u dont need to unzip the files at all mate.

when u download a zip file, and it asks where u want to save it to. save it into the skins folder that is contained within the winamp folder. c:\program files\winamp\skins by default (Or where u installed winamp to)

then all you need to do is open winamp and press ctrl+s and choose the skin u have just downloaded!

Enjoy ur new skins

Ctrl+S saves the current playlist if the pledit window is active.
