How To Make Winamp Skins READ THIS: This is kinda hard to understand but bear with me. The very first thing you will need to do is to download the base skin. This needs to be unziped into a folder. Use Winzip. In the stats below there are gonna be a set of words and numbers. The very first word is the file in your folder that you will need to open into paint. The second word is the type part in the file that you will be using. The next will be a number and this is the number you put the trace bar on. In paint this will be the very top right icon in the tool box menu. Use the status bar on the very bottom with two numbers seperated by a comma(,). The second number is the size that you make the selection. put the cross bars on the first point click and hold and pull the bar to the size of the second number. Copy and paste in the other file.
