well first of all, you probably want to get a good graphics program to edit each picture that the skin uses. These can be adobe photoshop, paint shop pro, etc, but even good old ms paint will get the job done(not nearly as nicely however). If you haven't yet, you might check out the winamp skin developers section at http:://www.winamp.com/nsdn/winamp2x/dev/skins/, which has a basic tutorial on what goes into skinning. this will tell you what you need and which files do what. You will have to download the base skin because even though you have it on winamp now, you don't have the hard bmp files to mess with. You will also need to download winzip at http://www.winzip.com/ddchomea.htmif you don't have it already so you can open the base skin zip file and zip your skin when you are complete. That should get you started.
