Hi, I'm making a Winamp skin.

It's not great, but I'm trying to make it better.

I submitted it to Winamp but it won't be up for a while. In the mean time, the skin can be downloaded at deviantart.com: http://www.deviantart.com/view.php?id=4103

This is a screenshot of the skin in use:

For general knowledge: the only art program I have is MS Paint. I know the Equalizer sucks, especially the bars. I plan on skinning the interior of the minibrowser, but I haven't finished the HTML file yet.

Please give me any other criticism you think would be help make the skin better, and if you have any compliments, I'd appreciate those too.

--John

Woohoo! It went up on winamp.com! http://www.winamp.com/customize/deta...ponentId=32305

And I got 3 stars... for my first skin.

I actually feel kind of bad... it's not nearly as good as some of the other 3 star skins. (like X-Qwizit)

Nice skin...it's just a bit too "busy" for me. I think it's because of your choice to have text and symbols for the buttons. But other than that....nice skin. You can download free trial versions of Photoshop and paint Shop Pro, much more capabilities than MS Paint

Thanks Jayn

I don't particularly like the text either. I only added it so people would be able to make sense of all the cryptic symbols. My roommate kept complaining that he couldn't understand it when I left the skin up. But I guess more experience Winamp users could probably figure things out.

I don't have my own computer; I've been making this skin on my roomate's. I'll ask him whether he minds if I download Paintshop.
