Ok I left you guys at lesson threestill probably not knowing what to do, but know I am better and I could prbably explain this even more to you all. So im starting with a new Lesson 1
Lesson 1- The basics
what you need
Edit plus 2 or notepad
Some graphic skills (optional)
-------------------------
Ok you are going to learn the ropes... Again or atleast those of you that really understood what I was talking about. First make a new folder in your skins dir. (C:Program FilesWinampSkins) call it what ever you want. Now below you will see the buttons and there actions.

Ok you are going to learn the ropes... Again or atleast those of you that really understood what I was talking about. First make a new folder in your skins dir. (C:Program FilesWinampSkins) call it what ever you want. Now below you will see the buttons and there actions.
Code: Select all
PLAY=Play song
PAUSE=Pause song
STOP=Stop song
CLOSE=Close Winamp
MINIMIZE=Minimize Winamp
VOLUME=Volume slider
SEEK=Seek bar
[code]
Now these are the "actions" for button code but I will tell you more about actions later, now we are going to create the skin.xml file this file is the most inportiant file without this your skin is nothing. Now please write this instead of copying and pasting.
[code]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<WinampAbstractionLayer version="0.9"> <!-- this tells winamp what type of skin it is -->
<skininfo> <!-- you can edit every thing on this file from here to the end -->
<version>1.0</version>
<name>Tutorial skin</name>
<comment>Feal free to use this skin as your template for your skins</comment>
<author gaybag="yes"> Mike Bergstrom</author> <!-- you don't need the gaybag part -->
<email>Mike-db@shaw.ca</email>
<homepage>http://www.geocities.com/mikwiththestick_skins/</homepage>
<screenshot>skinshot.png</screenshot>
</skininfo>
<include file="xml/player.xml"/>
</WinampAbstractionLayer> <!-- you can edit this if you don't want your skin to work -->
[code]
you also need to have the id tags in there just like HTML or the skin with not reconize it.
