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

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
