Dark, thin, minimal skin?

Clixx13 · 10th January 2009, 00:23

I'm looking for a skin that has a Windowshades mode that I can dock to the bottom of my screen and that is primarily dark or contrasted, without any bright colors. I used to use a skin called Ashen before I reformatted, but I dont think it had a Windowshades mode. For reference, I'm using the Royal Night color for the Bento skin and I rather like it.

Would any of you with the same taste as me perhaps have any suggestions? I tried a lot of skin database searching, but it's difficult because I need to download every skin to find out the things I need to know about them.

Thanks so much in advance!

Hi,
I was looking for the past days for the same exact same thing. I know it's been 2 years but did you find anything?

Thank you and have nice Newe Years' Eve.

Funnily enough, I started hacking away at the Winamp Modern theme just today, aiming for a flat, minimalist, Metro-inspired look that matches my Windows desktop.
Here's what I've got so far:

Only really had to edit one maki file so that's nice.
I don't have any experience with skinning or design or anything like that, so you know, goes to show it isn't that hard to get a handle on.

Oh, and if anyone knows how to edit the vertical width of the "artist/album/track" column headers, I would be grateful. It's the only thing that has me stumped, and I don't want to make the scrollbar arrows bigger just so it aligns...

I just saw this, I did something as well. It's similar to the one above but mine is darker, and the buttons turn a dark red when you mouse over them. You can see it on this thread:
