Here's how I "fixed" it. No guarentee's it'll work for you. First, install Winamp 5.23. Now you should get green X's where stuff is broken instead of a purple box. Go to the folder Program Files\Winamp\Plugins\freeform\xml\wasabi\window. rename 'error.png' to something else (error.png.old.) Make a copy of 'transparent.png' from that same folder. Rename the copy you just made 'error.png'. That's it, start Winamp to test.

Fixed. Thanks for that.

Hey Herby, how'd you fix it? I currently use a different Winamp skin right now, and I was wondering what to look for in the skin's files so I can fix the error. I figured out that if I replaced the error image with a transparent .png it would go away (like it was discovered here), but I'm looking for a more "permanent" fix. Thanks.

In previous Winamp versions you could make a certain part of the skin transparent without having to use an image (image="").

Now you can't so you have to fix these parts:

- Rename the skinname.wal to skinname.zip and extract it into a new directory with the skinname.

- Extract the attached zip and copy blank.png into the elements/window/ directory.

- Replace all image="" values in the xml files with image="elements/window/blank.png"

- Edit elements-system.xml and check if all the id's are associated with an image, if not; add file="elements/window/blank.png" behind the id('s).

blank.zip

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
