Where is the winamp3 base skin?? I want to make one

Winamp3's base skin, or in other words - the default skin, is default.wal, the skin you saw when you first loaded Winamp3.

The skin is located at ..\Winamp3\Skins\

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\_wa3sktmp\
Thats where winamp automatically puts all mine. On win 98 anyway, I think it varys from windows versions.

Hrm, no... All skins are put in your Winamp3 Skins folder. When loading a skin, Winamp3 extracts the skins file to a temp. folder - the one you specified.

Ya, I thought he was looking for the code to refer to. He said he wanted to make one.

remember WAL=ZIP so your friendly neighborhood zipping utility can open them. Winamp (2 and 3) can and will load skins from a folder, so while developing you can just leave it in folder form, no zipping is required.

what programs do you use to make your winamp skin?

Editplus2 for XML
Download it here!

Emeditor for MAKI
Download it here!
Then with emeditor you will need the Maki syntax.
Download it here!
You can thank HollowEarth for that.
I guess you don't need both, but these are my preferences!

Have fun!!!!!

Yes indeed, I couldnt imagine living in black and white.

bnouwop, Thats if you were talking about writing the code. If your talking about the graphics, I know most people around here (With good graphics) use Photoshop (expensive), Under that I guess (and free) is Paintshop Pro. ect. ect.

Textpad (www.textpad.com) is another brilliant text editor. Syntax file for maki attached in next post.
