ReSkinning the Media Library

keysman · 20th April 2006, 09:01

I am using an old skin for Winamp Classic in Winamp 5, and when I go to the Media Library, all I see is black (black text on black background I assume). Media library works fine with other skins I have but I happen to like this one. I have gotten to the point of changing the extension name to zip and looking through the available files for the skin, but the solution is not immediately obvious. I have some coding/graphic design experience and I can figure out what to do there if someone would be kind enough to throw me a bone perhaps as to what file Winamp5 draws from to make the Media Library text. I would assume it would use the normal text picture file, but the picture in the text.bmp is black text on white, and that is not what i see in the library.

So what file/s do I need to change to correct this bad behavior?

the colour pixels on gen_ex.bmp control the library colours, a good guide to what does what can be found here..

Awesome, got it figured out after some trial and error!

Works perfectly now, thanks for your help Mr Jones.
