is this a bug?

[lenx]

yesterday, i made a primitive skin and everything worked well.
this morning i started up my comp and loaded my skin in winamp 3 but it was completely invisible. i couldn't see winamp.
i allready have had this before with another simple skin of me (it was only a background).
does anyone know more about this?

try deleting studio.xnf
if it didn't work, then check the skin.

it doesn't work yet.

this is very frustrating, i'm trying to make new skins now, with a simple background only, but it makes winamp completely invisble.

Dunno if this will help, but try renaming the skin in the /skins directory and then loading the renamed version. It works for me with some skin crashes.

Incidentally if you want to do this automatically (and you're using windows 2000/XP) you can put this into a batch file:

code:


ren skinname.wal skinname_%RANDOM%.wal

which will rename the file named skinname.wal to a file called skinname_xxxxx.wal, where xxxxx is a random number between 1 and 32768. If you use PKZIPC or some other command line zipping utility, you can package everything up and create a uniquely named wal file with a single click. (OK then, a double click. =)
