Just a little doc to tell you about my Winamp skin and some useful info for others who want to make their own.
About My Skin
I have downloaded many winamp skins and found that most only change the main panel, graphic equalizer and playlist. Some don't even go as far as that and I have hardly found any that change the mini browser graphics. This one does all four as well as all the different mouse pointers and uses the [Equalizer] option in "Region.txt".
My skin was designed using Degas Elite on the Atari ST, as a result of which it only uses 16 colours. One useful side effect of this is that the whole thing is less than 200Kbytes in size even though it contains the whole graphics set. The final touches, mostly just pasting everything into the right place, were done with Paint Shop Pro and Microangelo was used to edit the mouse pointers. The spectrum analyser on my skin only really looks right in normal mode with thick bands because every other colour is black to give a proper L.E.D. look.
