__Sophomore_V3.1__
For Winamp Classic
_____Hespero5_____
This is Sophomore, a simple skin with a slightly more complicated history.
I guess it was in 2002 that I discovered Ahra's SophontAmp (v2.0) skin. I liked the concept but thought it could be nicer if it were smoothened and cleaned up. I did a first version of what would later become Sophomore (I don't have to explain the name, do I?). I Tried to contact the original author but that did not work, so in the end I decided not to release it. Funny note is that it was all done in MS paint that day, because I did not master Adobe well enough to do anything else but clichéd abstract wallpapers.
Here we are back in 2004. I recently rediscovered the never finished Sophomore skin. To my surprise it had not really aged (that is the fortune of a clean slightly retro-futuristic skin I guess) so I was thrilled to see whether I could finish it today, in the days of Winamp 3/5 Freeform violence and new techniques. I decided to loose all references to the original skin so I could release it als private work without the problems I would have when I kept the original design. I also had to completely redo the playlist and eq, because they were not able to stand the test of time. Alltogether the new version took me 3 weeks to finish, which was considerably longer than I hoped for. Now you can judge whether the work was worth it.
There are some bugs or elements I left out, mostly because I was to lazy to do them or just didn't want them in my skin. I don't know of that is a problem in WA5 if you find something of considerable importance you can contact me about it. If you use the EQ with insanely extreme settings you'll also discover a bug there, but I could not imagine why anyone would want these kind of settings.
So here is it, my first published skin. I hope you like it.

PS.
Special thanks go to Shinter, who gave me some useful comments on the first version of the skin, and who in generally is the godfather of the community here.
And of course also to Ahra. The Creator of SophontAmp, the skin that started it all.
My Girlfriend, because I did not call her while I was typing this.
My parents, for never finding out I spend my time working on useless things like this skin.
PPS.
Please respect the work I put into this skin and don't rip it.

A skin based (in part) on my most recent website redesign, made mostly because I needed something new to look at. I actually finished it, so I figured I'd release it. As far as I can tell, it's bug-free.
