1) Mikro amp is a plugin that is a small sqaure that controls Winamp. It also lets you turn off Winamp's windows which Winamp not take up very much space on the desktop. The point of skinning it is so your Mikro amp matches your Winamp

2)I'm not sure if this is what you're pointing to, but I think it's the last few pixels on the right side. This is because each block in the grid in the background is 10x10 px. and each window is 116 px. Therefore, the grid doesn't fit evenly and there's a few pixels left over.

3)I don't know

4)I don't know where the link is, but I bet Jones will be here with it soon

3 is liquid-crystal display... and go to home and look for "NEW Nullsoft Winamp3!
Beta 3, Up in hea!"

hehe oops

DFX is another plugin
I don't know what it does cuz I don't use it, but I've heard it's a biznatch to skin

DFX is a sweet-assed program that enhances your music files. I thought that it was just some fluke, but I downloaded the trial and even with some of the options inaccessible it sounded noticably better. If you listen to music frequently like I do, I'd say it's worth it. Try it. You'll notice that without it your mp3s sound a lot more deflated.

Oh, and yes it is hard to skin if you don't know your coding.

Looks like all the questions have been answered.

If you didnt get what gsx meant look at the attached image.

thats what we refer to on a WA skin... basicaly, the display. A true LCD (liquid crystal display) is like a display on a photocopier or some other electronic thinger.
