Lol I am 14 and I can do it too
Why don't you try around like me...
Rip apart the default skin (make sure you have a backup)

For the freeform, just make a form which looks cool, save it as your background file (in the default it is player/player-background.png if im right) and reload winamp, if it's bigger or smaller delete studio.xnf and reload it

You need image editing software that can save your pic as a .png with a transparent background, like Photoshop.

Not sure about 5, but in 6 you can either "save for web..." (from the File menu I think), or under the help menu, there is a wizard the can walk you through saving a transparent image. Also, I'd do a search for "saving png" and look for threads in Winamp3...The Discussion or Skin/Scripting.

I use the help menu, because it works for me. But the more advanced skinners use different methods. Just find one that works for you .

I never finished my "Rings" skin, because I got sidetracked, and then I wasn't up to date with Winamp versions, so I take no offence at not being included in your skinners group, but I promise to finish the skin someday . Maybe on the same day the WA3 team releases Winamp3 final

-=Gonzotek=-

I was away for a while.
But I'm feeling much better now.

Gonzo is one of my favorites, too. But he wasn't exactly why I chose the name Gonzotek. When I was thinking about online personas I was also avidly reading a lot of Hunter S. Thompson, the creator of Gonzo Journalism, and author of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". When they turned avatars on in here, I first made a really crappy rip of the mozilla icon (little gecko). But I wasn't happy, so I hunted around until I found a nice little pic of Gonzo in his superhero outfit (anybody remember what he called himself, because I don't?).


ANYWAYS,

Download the simple skin from http://www.winamp.com/download/wasabi/skins.jhtml (last one)

and use that too see how buttons are defined/placed. I'm hurrying, because I have to go to an appointment, but if you're still having trouble reply again, and I'll take some time out tonight to help you out.
