Artist's Note

Here's something new. ;)

This is using made from scratch graphics, but designed to match the ever popular Milk suite(s). This looks badass with every light-style theme I tried it with, so hopefully it'll work out well for many of you.

You're probably doing a double take... yes, this IS Winamp 2.x. Some trickery has been used here - probably more than anyone had thought was possible - to make a super-compact skin with no wasted space and a smooth 'flow'.

[B]INSTRUCTIONS:[/B]
Before you apply the skin, place your main window (in Full mode) on top, your PL (in either mode) in the center, and your EQ window (in Shade mode) on the bottom. Done. ;)

I'm sure a couple of you about to tear me a new one points-wise for the 'missing features'. Please don't bother, there's nothing I can do about it and it won't change anything and would be horribly missing the point. Remember that most of the standard functions are still 'there', just unskinned or hidden in the right-click menu.

I maintain that this is super-usable, but if you dislike it, please just take it for what it is - a clever little take on WA2 - and ignore it. :)

Please let me know if you enjoy this, and skinners - feel free to use this technique yourselves!

Very interesting use of regions. It's quite a nice skin. I'm sure people will be expecting you to make a color pack for this.

Didn't wanna ramble on any more in the description, but two more things. A larger and more feature-packed version of the skin is coming for Sonique 2, so it'll be nice and stable. I may also POSSIBLY port it to Winamp 3 if anyone still uses that... lastly, the PL is based on Drawing a Blank?, but I have the author's permission I guess. ;) EDIT: Imrik... does that mean I can join 4imp? ;) just kidding.

So unique.. needs a progress bar to complete the package.

Maybe you could do something kool with the avs window also, something small but kool.

this is the age
where the heart seems sage

this is the reign
where the pain closely feign

this is the era
where the senses free of phobia

this is the time
where the joy sharply mime

this is the span
where the sadness begin to ban

this is the day
where the agony stopped in ray

this is the date
where the sorrow end its fate

If you ever wondered who you should love/loathe for introducing the half-skin...

The first one of these I did was just a shaved-down playbar that would fit in an open space in my photoshop layout. After realizing how handy it was, I figured other people would dig it. I was kind of hoping that this would be the idea that finally secured my place in the skinners' hall of fame, but to this day I'm better remembered for pissing off people on the forums than for creating a whole new type of winamp skin. :(
