Blackcomb Winamp Skin 1.0


Recommended Posts

Here is my Blackcomb Winamp Skin that I have been working on for little over a week - I think its finally worthy of version 1.0.

This version includes 3 different colors(not everyone liked orange) and cursors, It was designed to go with the Blackcomb Pro 1.1 visual style by mterlouw. It should also go well with watercolor by binary since it has the same titlebar.

I do not like skins that are hard to use, ease of use was definitely my first priority when creating this skin. I hope you all enjoy it, I worked pretty hard on it. If you find any bugs or have any suggestions email or PM me.

To install the skin simply unzip the contents of the zip into your winamp skins directory(because its actually 3 different skins).

Thank you, it has been fun.

Excellent workd NightBurn.

osiris, an easy way out... take the skin and convert it...

i think the winamp skin to wmp skin conversion utility is included in the new Bonus Pack for wmp.

I did it a few times... it's not that bad...you just lose some of the functional features .....

...that came in the wmp xp bonus pack will let you use this skin w/ wmp. you have to take the "1.0" off the name of the .wmz files for the converter to work for some reason, but then it does just fine.

problem is the playlist/eq won't dock w/ the the player, but if you really REALLY must have that skin...

damn I dont have that bonus pack, but some other media player skins ive got that have been converted from winamp, they are all dodgey, not smooth and while they look alright arent worth using, so rather then ruin the skin by doing that look since the release of sonique, what would that be well over a year ago, then I moved on Media Player 8 in XP, im finally going back to winamp.

I'm glad you guys like it :)

I really like it too, Its on my mind quite often, I'm trying to come up with creative ways to improve it. If anyone has any ideas - please post them.

I just found a bug, the wrong cursor is displayed for the playlist titlebar. I fixed it and uploaded a new version to my webspace. I can't believe I missed it.

wmp8 bonus pack download

skin converter plus a bunch of other goodies...

true the converter isn't perfect. i wanted to convert dangeruss's dream for winamp skin, but it came out w/ little black specs on it for some reason. now if someone wants to make a cool new wmp skin, do one based on the dream skin! heck, an xp dream theme would be pretty darn cool me thinks...

Alrighty,

Here is version 1.1

A friend of mine requested a white version so here it is.*shrug* ( not that these re-colors are hard to do) I also fixed a bug with the oscilliscope displaying orange on all color versions.

Sorry I don't think I feel like I skinning Vidamp. I tried the plugin and I felt that it was second rate and somewhat hoakie - if you know what I mean. It played video very poorly on my machine, very choppy and no options for brightness/contrast. If I missed something about this plugin, please post.

If you want to skin vidamp yourself I'd be happy to send you my PSD file for pledit.bmp - just send me an email.

no problem nightburn. :) strange as it runs beautiful here on only a p3 600 . did you check the options? it supports for activemovie etc (it uses the windows media player engine). not to worry about the file you have as i wouldn't know where to start with it.

Thanks for replying to my post.

This skin was not designed for Winamp3. Winamp3 is still beta so heh I can't believe im saying this, "I cannot provide support for Winamp3 related issues."

It was designed for Winamp2. I suggest using Winamp2 still, it's a better product in my opinion. It's much cleaner, proven and not so bloated. The only suggestion I have for making the skin work in Winamp3 is to try to rename the wsz files to .zip and then uncompress them to there own respective folders and then try applying the skin.

Ikonis,

I'll think about it....... I'm not quite done with the Blackcomb version yet. Maybe after the next release I'll see what I can whip together for you. No promises at this point tho.

The next version will include a new color for a total of 5, numerous bug fixes and VidAmp.

Thanks for all the support guys!
