Winamp 2.x Skins - Forgess by status

Winamp 2.x Skins / Forgess

Artist's Note

The name came out of a really, really weird chat session... don't ask.

I made this for my father. He loves music and enjoys mp3s, but his eyesight isn't that great (something we have in common), so he needed a lighter, easier to read skin.

Comments are, of course, welcome as always.

EDIT: Restored by request... I have a feeling I'm gonna miss the original high 90's admin rating, tho'. ;)

	report status says: @Blat, yes, I spotted that little pixel error about three weeks after the skin was released. It's a bit annoying (if you know it's there), but not quite worthy of a re-release. Thanks for the comment though, that slipped past everyone else. :) Tue, Sep 3rd at 06:42pm (7 years ago)

	report status says: For a long time, this was my most highly-regarded skin. I feel like this one deserved the praise it got at the time, but it's not a timeless piece. The style hasn't aged well... or at least, it's obvious when this was made. From 2001 to 2003, all skinners were going through growing pains: skinning started as hacking, but groups like breed and wasted youth were forcing us to make it an art form as well. In this respect -- strange as it sounds now -- Breed and it's ilk are to thank for the emphasis we put on UI today. We started off making things to show off. After that scene came along, we had to make something pretty to show off. After we started making pretty things to show off, it dawned on people that "hey, we could make things that are pretty AND nice to use". Skins got a lot more pleasant after that. Then heylove came along and showed us what the fuck we were supposed to be doing the whole time. Tue, Feb 27th at 11:27pm (2 years ago)
