Quinto Black CT v3.8 released

[ariszlo]

Quinto Black CT is the best skeuomorphic Winamp skin for modern desktops, imho. In his 2018 blog entry, dro mentions it as one of the "two skins that stand out from the last year".

Get version 3.8 here.

Unfortunately, Quinto's installer is not WACUP-friendly but there is a workaround to install it for WACUP.

This post will guide you how you can install Quinto for WACUP in the following two scenarios:

• You have both WACUP and Winamp on your machine.
• You only have WACUP and do not want to install Winamp just for the sake of Quinto.

1. You have both WACUP and Winamp on your machine

• Launch the installer and install Quinto for Winamp.
• Copy the Quinto Black CT v3.8 directory from C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\Skins to C:\Program Files (x86)\Wacup\Skins

2. You only have WACUP (and do not want to install Winamp)

• In File Explorer, go to C:\Program Files (x86)
• Create a new folder named Winamp
• Enter the newly created Winamp folder and create a new folder named Skins
• Copy winamp.exe from C:\Program Files (x86)\Wacup to C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp*
• Launch the installer and install Quinto into the Winamp directory
• Copy the Quinto Black CT v3.8 directory from C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\Skins to C:\Program Files (x86)\Wacup\Skins
• Delete the Winamp folder.

*You do not really need the real winamp.exe. It is in fact enough to create a 0-byte plain text file with the filename winamp.exe.
