Skins / Waveform Seeker Plug-in colors
« Last post by Aminifu on Today at 02:11:51 AM »How do I control the foreground and background colors used by the Waveform Seeker plug-in when used with classic and modern skins?
Latest restricted WACUP beta release is build #18980 (April 24th 2024) (x86 & x64 changelogs) | Latest WACUP public preview is build #18980 (April 24th 2024) (x86 only)
NOTE: Beta testers are added in a limited & subjective manner as I can only support so many people as part of the beta test program to keep it useful for my needs.
Unless I think you're going to be helpful, not all requests will be accepted but might still be later on. Remember that beta testing is to help me & the limitations currently works for my needs for this project.

Not the perfect artwork on my side. But this is good enough for my needs.

« Last post by dro on Yesterday at 12:04:28 AM »The skin is working correctly for one from 1999 which pre-dates the classic skin additions that Winamp 2.9x introduced in 2003.
If you get a copy of the Skinner's Atlas then the gen.bmp & genex.bmp from it are the files that would need to be added into the old skin along with reading the txt file in the wsz (it's just a zip file so there's nothing special about it) or there's an online copy at https://github.com/WACUP/Winamp-Skinning-Archive/tree/master/Classic%20Skins/Skinners%20Atlas to read through.
There should be enough from the old skin to be able cobble something together to create those 2 files & then you can add them into the existing zip file or leave it as a pre-extracted folder within the Skins folder.

Skins / Convert / Update old skin?
« Last post by DrNoD on April 23, 2024, 11:01:55 PM »I just discovered that this player is existing. I was using Winamp since the beginnung.
I also used a skin called "Sonicated".
https://kickbutts.tripod.com/winamp.htm
Unfortunately it is not fully working with this new version. For exampe Album art has no skin.
Is there a way to convert this old skin (zip file with some BMP files) into a new one and add for example the new Album Art window?

The problem has existed for a couple of years in my code & despite it not having been changed for the new build (haven't gone back & checked other recent beta builds) it seems to be manifesting in a more consistent manner if going to the base skin is involved as part of the chain of switching attempts.

« Last post by MarkRH on April 19, 2024, 10:01:09 PM »I did some messing around and in my case if I start with a modern (like Bento) or classic skin (Nucleo_NLog_v102_.wsz) and switch to the Built-in classic skin then it doesn't want to switch to either a modern or another classic skin afterwards unless I restart. Going between various other classic or modern skins doesn't seem to be an issue.
I don't change skins much so not something I would have caught before. I'll try the Procdump process.
Edit: Sent a procdump in email. Hopefully shows something related to this.

« Last post by dro on April 19, 2024, 09:41:38 PM »I've had another user report this earlier today despite it not having been mentioned with any of the betas from the prior few month's so I'm not sure why it'd now be messing up other than it's somewhat the nature of trying to re-use the modern skin plug-in gen_ff dll from 5.666 & something yet unknown to me isn't working right.
Compared to the old preview they are for the most part 2 different implementations now & gen_ff was never really meat to be able to work outside of a native winamp implementation as WACUP is now doing.
All I can suggest for now is to try running wacup using wacup.exe /procdump to see if there might be a weird crash happening (something that gen_ff can randomly do) & it could be that's happening & measures to try to avoid a full crash are actually working at the expense of a weird non-skin changing experience.
