Check it out & let me know if you have any suggestions.
Ciao John

You could've said that in the original thread

, anyway, it's nice, but buttons could really use some more detail.

I'd rather look at her face than her butt. Maybe you could move the smaller pic of her down so that its not covered with buttons.

Thanks for the comments, I've changed the buttons so many times since I started, I started off with the standard winamp buttons with the picture transperant over the top...it looked like shit, I came to the conclusion that I know where the buttons are and that most people probably do as well, I wanted to make it as simple as possible and not to have the whole thing covered by buttons. The placement of the smaller pic could have been better too but I can't be bothered re doing the whole thing. Anyway, stay tuned for the final product, still have to do the minibrowser and touch up a couple of things.

I've decided that this will be the look of my first winamp skin, only have to do the cursors now.

KiwiFreak · 8th October 2001, 06:39

It helps if you attach the file...lol

Did you do the AVS ? And Mikro Amp?

KiwiFreak · 8th October 2001, 08:53

To be honest...I haven't got a clue what the mirco amp is...but I did do the AVS...I even did the easter egg.

Why Diaz???

KiwiFreak · 8th October 2001, 21:34

Why not, I decided to make one and started looking around for pictures, I didn't want to just slap any old random pic in the background so I had to find a couple of images that worked well together. I'm quite happy with the end result...but now have a number of things that I would attack in a different way.

Today, all my posts are going to mention how bad everyone elses taste in music is.

Staind suck a lot.

But onto the skin, everything but main and EQ looks good. Thing is you've just got this pic with skinner traces for main and eq (in the untitled image I checked). It needs to be more 'winamp' and less picture to make a good looking skin I think.

KiwiFreak · 9th October 2001, 23:11

I disagree, personally I never use the equalizer so I didn't skin it, the buttons on the main window are quite easy to see so why cover up a pic with ugly buttons, the volume & balance are another thing I never change...I hooked up my sterio to the computer and use the volume on the sterio.
What I'm trying to say is I made this skin for my own use but I'm going to upload it for anyone else who wants it.

KiwiFreak · 9th October 2001, 23:13

Oh and the other thing...whats wrong with Staind?

Isn't life great...we are all very different, we choose different music to listen to, we each have different ideas on what makes a good skin......

If anyone can find any of the skins I made please email them to Forevever@aol.com I can't remember all the names but specifically hunting for Lascivious, and DEVOUR (compilation with Jax) and any in the Impulse series which had 6 total. Auriferous, Gilt, Impulse, Nadir, and 2 others I can't remember but you dig.
