I just found a great Winamp skin which I thought was worth a post here on Neowin, as I think this one could be very popular, considering the fact Neowin users love transparency effects. After the great success of stefanka's Spirit skin I'm sure you will like this.

It's called clearONE, for more information and a screenshot go here: http://axialix.home.insightbb.com/Winamp/index.htm

Besides the nice transparent windows it has some great features. You can choose between many color schemes (try the white one on a light blue background, it looks very nice), customizable main window (decide which buttons you want to have), a cover art window and many more.

I searched and found no thread about this skin, so I hope this isn't old news for you...

This skin is very nice. Stefanka's Spirit was pretty good but the playlist didn't just fit the main window theme. This skin however is perfect, definately something I will use and keep for a long time.

Thanks for sharing it. :D

Edit: And no need to replace any dll's btw, it works swell without any changes.

I thought it wasn't possible to have alpha transparency in the playlist and media library windows... boy I'd love to know how the author did that...

I was wondering the same thing. One thing's for sure, though, cpu useage skrockets when you move it haha.

The toasters are friggin beautiful.

There is no way to get alpha blending with the standardframe (which skins the components: Playlist, Media Library, Video, etc) without using a workaround. With the workaround, you (as a skinner) have a window that you force alpha blending on, which will be used to skin all your component windows instead of the regular, non-alpha blended standardframe. Then you must sync the position (x,y), width and height of your components with the position, width and height of the alpha blended window using a MAKI script. Sure, you get a smooth looking Playlist, or whatever other component, but the demand on the CPU is quite large. Nullsoft didn't want alpha blended component windows for a reason, y'know. But I will admit that alpha blended components do look nice, and this skin looks great using this workaround. (Y)

Well I guess due to the heavy MAKI and CPU usage issues, I won't worry about the alpha blending on the other windows for my Orion skin (http://www.spuler.us/winamp/orion/orion.html)

The fact the playlist doesn't really match well, IMO, is the reason I don't use Orion.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses.
