Just like the title says... this is my small winamp skin hoard. I make skins whenever it suits my fancy. So pls don't pester me about updates and so forth.

monkeying with settings for a better winamp look

a) To get that tiny song title display (winamp 2.9x look)


Why are we doing this? Classic skins depends on a file called text.bmp for fonts in the main window. For Winamp 2, this includes the song title area. Which means I'd skin that area with text.bmp in mind. Winamp 5 doesn't use text.bmp for fonts and thus has a larger song title area which might cause the skin to not appear proper.
The only disadvantage of using skinned fonts is it doesn't allow for display of foreign text. Which is no biggie since the playlist can handle that.

- right-click on winamp and select Options > Preferences


- click on Classic Skins


- Select 'Use skinned font for...'


b) Setting the playlist font

Why are we doing this? Skinners can set the font type that appears in the playlist. By doing this, you can see the customized font that was set by the skinner :)
You can also control the font size of the playlist from here.

- select Options > Preferences
- Click on Playlist


- Select these two options;


- You can control the size of the font by adjusting the number in that box.
- Display of foreign text is achievable, provided your OS has the proper language pack installed.
