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

    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
    • Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.
