On a whim I had a go at creating a DMB skin for the mp3/media player Winamp. Except for Kevin Wong and Dylan Meissner's work those available on the Winamp Site are pretty crappy.
For some reason Fonzie was on my mind, so I did a quick search for images of him on google. A few hours Later I came up with the following:
This first shot is of the player when it's stopped.
Some cool features: The Random button is a Lizard, and it turns green when pressed active.
Stefan Lessard is pretty into lizards, and is usually seen with at least one lined up on top of his bass amp.
This second screen shot is when the player is going. You'll notice that the visualization partially obscures Stefan. Not much can be done about this kiddies.
You'll notice that the play, pause, etc buttons all move when clicked, and that the colors work even when it is rolled up.
Winamp 5.3 has support for advanced skin's that don't need to be in the same boxy style as this classic skin. I may have a go at creating a Dave Shaped Winamp 5 custom skin.
1. Make sure you have Winamp installed on your PC. If you don't, you'll need to visit Winamp's Site to download.
2. Download the DMB Winamp Skin here. If you select "Open" when the first dialog pops up, it should launch Winamp and load the skin. If you Save it:
3. Double-click the file name, and it should automatically skin your winamp. Now you're listening in style.
Provided the skin is not modified, you may freely distribute this skin.
