How to change Winamp playlist font?

[eNeon]

*Wondering* :)

[insanekiwi]

this should be in software discussion ;)

and i don't think you can change the font without reshacking winamp.

[eNeon]

Ok, bah hehe :)

[KZWings]

WinAMP 5 you can change the playlist font.

Options > Preferences > Playlist

For the longest time I've been wondering why they don't serve 2.x anymore on their site.. I don't want winamp 5 which uses more resources....

Not if you still use classic skins with it. And if it use a little more resources i barely think you?ll notice

at least in 2.9x, playlist fonts are in the wsz (skin) files. you can edit them in there.

www.oldversion.com has old winamp versions.

have a good day

Seriously people, this has been talked about to death many places. Winamp 5 IS winamp 2.xx with bugfixes. It is a STRAIGHT continuation of the same code. It's that simple. If you don't want to use more resources, then when you install winamp, just don't include support for modern themes (and I think one other thing). Then you DO have winamp 2.9x with all the bugfixes and such.

I strongly recommend you read this

for winamp 2.xx you have to change the font in the skin-file.

open the .wsz, .zip or what ever with winrar and open pledit.txt

2.95rc has never acted as buggy etc. i don't need any additional plugins either. also winamp 5 is kinda big and bulky imo.

Fair enough. If it works for you without any crashes, then no need to change. I just don't like it when people claim 5 is SO much more bloatware,etc than 2.9x when it's NOT (simply turn off modern theme support).

I (honestly) am not sure what you mean by big and bulky (possibly the modern theme?...you can turn that off).

Concerning the playlist font (trying to get back on topic ;) ), does anybody have a suggestion for a good font (other than default)? Every font I've tried has looked fugly when done in playlist window.

i only used winamp 5 when i got released for the first time. the default blueish skin wasalmsot 2-3 times as big as my small 2.95 default skin.

does winamp 5 use 3.x and 5.x skins by now?

Thank you guys. :)

when modern skin support is turned off...it defaults to the 2.9x Classic skin.

Even with modern skin support turned on...you can still load the classic skin without any of the 5.x Modern Skin Bloat
