Quinto Black CT is the best skeuomorphic (https://99designs.com/blog/creative-inspiration/truly-lickable-skeuomorphic-designs/) Winamp skin for modern desktops, imho. In his 2018 blog entry, dro mentions (https://getwacup.com/blog/index.php/2018/04/20/21-years-of-winamp/) it as one of the "two skins that stand out from the last year".
Get version 3.8 here (https://forums.winamp.com/forum/skinning-and-design/modern-skins/4619307-quinto-black-ct-v3-8-release).
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.
