How to get rid of Bento skin

knezmilos13 · 10th April 2008, 18:46

I have installed the new winamp 5.53 and with it i got the new bento skin. Since i have a large number of old school skins for winamp i keep "random skin on play" on. However, the new Bento skin was too big with too many windows and they even stayed after bento switched to some other random skin so i decided to remove it. So i went to winamp/skins and deleted bento folders. Although this has removed bento from the list of skins it seems that it still jumps in from time to time but since it's deleted i just get an error report about some script. Any way to fix that or nicely remove bento?
An option to remove it would be nice for some future version.

If you deleted both the "Big Bento" and "Bento" subfolders in the Winamp\Skins folder, then there's no way that Bento can load, because it won't exist any more.

Well, like I said, it does not load, but from time to time when changing songs (and therefor skins) i get some kind of an error popping up meaning that the removal by deleting wasn't clean and there is still some kind of garbage left behind?

Hmm... maybe there's something in the Winamp Modern skin that calls something in the Winamp\Plugins\freeform\xml folder that calls something in Bento. I'm not rightly sure. Martin? Anyone?

What's the details of the script error?

OK, since i have like 200 skins changing bento doesn't jump in that often - so i removed all of my skins but left random skin option which meant there were only 4 skins left - classic, modern and 2 bentos (right?) so i got an error pretty fast. I also got another one i think i didn't get before

new error:

Okay, I've reproduced the problem.

Move Bento & Big Bento folders out of Winamp\Skins
Open Winamp
Switch to Winamp Modern skin
and I get that error from your first screenshot.

We'll hopefully get this fixed for the next release.

In the meantime, why not just keep the 2 Bento folders and put those 2 skins in winshade mode?

Actually, i don't know what is that mode xD and i already deleted bento's. I guess i could reinstall winamp, but is there no way to fool the program by like putting an empty script or something?

Winshade mode (also known as: Windowshade) is when you click the little button at the top right (the one before the 'x' close button) which puts the skin in a mini strip type mode.

Anyway... I've fixed the problem :-)

Download the attached zip

Unzip albumart.xml to the "Winamp\Skins\Winamp Modern\xml" folder
