Hi people!
Maybe someone can teach me how to make winamp skins?
Thanx!
Winamp skins

Requires some hefty coding. I at one point wanted to make one but eventually said nah.

The official how-to is an awesome place to start. Good luck, it's a hard and thankless art.

For Winamp 2.x/5.x ? Uh, not really… all you need to know are certain coordinates and how to use Photoshop. O_o
I do agree with Bloodfoot though. It's actually part of the reason I only release the skins I've done for One Piece for private use, since there's almost no way I, or in some cases, the original artist for the base skin, would get due credit for the work we put in. In some cases it's not too bad since, well, in some cases I don't really put a whole lot of effort into it :laugh: Some I only spend a couple weekends on (like that Robin one I did using Eggy's box from China), but something like this:
- I'm STILL not done with the playlist (mostly 'cause I can't figure out how the hell to plot the bonsai buttons the way I want w/o being cheap about it but eh). And yeah, I know there's already a skin based on that colorspread, but I think mine's cooler 'cause I didn't put in the silly equalizer bars on the bottom :laugh:
But honestly, like I said earlier, all you need are the coordinates to figure out where your tracker button goes and your volume and all the other stuff. Not really that hard. All you need is a knack for making things look awesome.

well, tried yesterday…XD
seems thet i can't do it...but the coordinates is not the problem
i made, for example, the numbers and replaced them with a random skin, but they didn't work> this is the problem...bloodfoot...thanx for the link
will try my best -
i could be wrong, but doesn't winamp have a page to tell you how to make skins?

hmm…i believe the coordinates should be the same
i just tried if this could have worked..but it didn'ti will have an exam in a few days, so no fun...then i'll try to make one
