You submitted a "generated" skin, but you forgot to skin the buttons in the video, playlist and library. As a result all you get are the default wasabi buttons.

Also, that bright red border is absolutely awfull and the picture you used is outdated.

So How do I create xml code any samples of the code?
I used simple skin v2? is that a problem

Yes, using simple skin v2 is THE problem. It was designed with a specific purpose, but is already a few years old. Modern skinning has not stopped there, and much more options are now available.

Also, using an existing skin and just changing the griphics could still be considered "Ripping", and is very much frowned upon. You can use the code from the official Nullsoft skins, those are the skins distributed with the winamp install. The use of any other skin would require permission from the authors.
You should go to the modern skin forum, post what you have and ask for advise on how to turn this in a complete skin.

You already have a number of threads going there, you could possibly use an existing thread for this purpose.
