How to install a skin

All these files must be placed in a folder under the name of the skin and this folder must be placed inside the skins directory of WinAmp. For example, if you have a skin named "MySkin" the directory structure sholud be this.

...\ WinAmp \ Skins \ Myskin \ < SkinFiles >

All the skins are coming in ".zip" files. A zip file can contain some folder information or not information at all. If you are not sure for the folder that WinZip will extraxt the files, you can set it by yourself.

• Open the zip file
• Select extract from the menu or from the toolbar
• Make sure that "Extract all files" option is selected
• Browse the folders until you reach WinAmp, and select the skins folder
• Click "New folder" and name it under the name of the skin you want to install i.e. "MySkin"
• Uncheck the "Use folder names" option
• And click "Extract"

This should make make a folder inside the skins directory and extract all the skins files to it.

Note that if the skin contains a .dll file, this is a plug-in. Just move it to the olug ins directory, after the extraction.

To select a skin, just go to the options menu (there are many ways to do it, like right click over title bar) and choose "Select skin".

Skin's page at Layer3.org. They have the bigest skins collection and it is growing.

Skins page at mp3.com. They do not have a page with screenshots and this is not so good.
