What are the BEST skins???

trailblazer · 21st November 2002, 02:58

OK, this is your chance for shameless self-promotion. I got tired of Winamp3's bugs, so I'm back to Winamp2. I've decided that my Boxster skin has got to go (sniff...), so now I need to know everyone's favorite Winamp2 skins!!! My tastes are eclectic. I don't like stuff that looks like it was done in less than an hour, though

I've been skin-searching at the Winamp2 site, but it's pointless to try to sift through 50000+ skins. I need your help!

So, come on guys! Show me the best stuff out there!!! This is your chance to be on my one and only desktop!!

Thanks in advance!

I see i don't make anyones lists..

hehe, my favs any by jasonl, and dams new skin (grunge is it? i forgot...) and a any by raydream/neko/whatever he calls himself these days.

trailblazer · 21st November 2002, 15:07

wow! I just wanted to thank you guys for all of the great leads!! I have been downloading like crazy - who needs a life!? I am so impressed with these skins. It is amazing what one can do with a rectangle. The coding is harder in winamp3, but I think designing a good winamp2 skin might be tougher artistically. Making your rectangle stand out from all of the other rectangles out there is no easy task. Good job, guys!

By the way, keep the good skins coming! This is a great way to procrastinate

It does NOT get away with it. It looks like shit. So much so, that people were moved to hack into the program and change it. That's how skins were born - through the overwhelming desire to kill that shit.

Let's be honest, it beats the WiMP default skin to shit. And most of the ones that come with it. I mean toothy, whadda? Perhaps RealPlayerOne would beat it, if it didn't crash immediately and generally suck... up my memory just to play a .ram. Baaaaa.

dam · 2nd December 2002, 18:58

At least the wa3 default skin is decent.
