the base skin download isn't working!

dyyd2k2 · 30th December 2002, 02:14

I've been trying to get it to download, but it won't respond. If anyone has the base skin zip, feel free to email me it at dyakobson@adelphia.net or iming me the zip to DYXautic

[edit]
Yes, at the moment, I can't get it to work either.

I'm moving this from WA2 TS to WA2 Skins forum.

Download link is borked due to a change in FTP servers.

Use this template skin instead, it's more comprenehsive

If you want to use the base skin as a template there are much better alternatives.

I pretty much started without it, thanks to a friends advice.

Check out my work... I know it's bad, but I don't have any inspiration right now.

That layout wont work with wa2. You're locked into where you can place the buttons etc.

It would work as a winamp3 skin though.

StillWater · 30th December 2002, 13:25

when designing a skin, you should periodically load up whatever BMPs you have into your skin and see how they look on winamp - as Atmo says, much of your layout simply won't work.

Would it work in Winamp 3?

StillWater · 30th December 2002, 16:10

yes, but to make a winamp 3 skin you need to know a whole lot more stuff than for a winamp 2 skin, like xml and/or maki coding. You can't just concentrate on the drawing part, you need to know how to program/code everything so that it works the way you want it...

dyyd2k2 · 30th December 2002, 16:27

Bah, thee goes another project down the drain...

Atmo · 30th December 2002, 16:43

It wouldnt be too hard to change the design around so it suits wa2 if you dont wanna learn the scripting/coding side of wa3.

WA3 skinning isnt too hard, its just time consuming.
