Winamp Modern Updated for WACUP

[Eris Lund]

Inspired in part by Ariszló's thread of old skins updated for WACUP, I wanted to show off a work in progress of updating Winamp Modern:


This is the latest I've done, fixing the bitrate display to not decrease the width of it's surrounding box when it happens to be below 100kbps.

There are also a slew of other things, namely the newer and improved timer which now flashes the timer instead of displaying dashes, there's also the realignment of UI elements which looked too off when taking a deeper look at the main window and other tiny stuff that no one else would really see... well, except for me.

The git repository can be found here: https://github.com/0x5066/WinampModernForked

Maybe this'll find itself in a new WACUP build, but I can't say for certain.

and other tiny stuff that no one else would really see... well, except for me.

Well, I have never noticed before that the width of the bitrate box decreases below 100 kbps. So I reduced the bitrate of one my mp3 files to 64 kbps just to see it. You really see things that no one else does.

If you do a 1:1 comparison of just the Main Window between this and 5.666's Winamp Modern, you'll begin to dislike how some of the UI parts were slapped on, and how left aligned the title bar text is.



If you can see what's wrong here and check it out yourself, you'll never unsee it.
But luckily for all of us, I fixed this too, something they could've done over the years...

[ariszlo]

Do you really mean the title bar? Not the PE_Info box?

[Eris Lund]

The PE_Info box is what got screwed up once the window itself becomes wider, it shifts a few pixels to the right instead of staying to the left, like the thinner/smaller state

Hello!

Winamp Modern Skin does not install on WACUP x64. Please tell me where I can find a version of Winamp Modern Skin that works with the 64-bit version of WACUP. And also other 64-bit skins.

Thank You!

You need to re-read the information on the x64 download page or from within the wacup installer.

Could someone please teach me how to install this?
I haven't used WACUP/WINAMP in a while.

Simply copy the skin's archive file (the single file that contains all the things that make up the skin) to the WACUP or Winamp skins folder.

This skin is already provided with the x86 build of wacup (unless wanting one of the small tweaked versions which isn't much different to what's provided vs the initial aspects of this thread). So it's just a matter of either selecting it from the first run dialog or going to prefs -> skins or main right-click menu -> skins & selecting it or other skins from there. Other skins need to be put into the <wacup_program_folder>\Skins & then use the prefs or menu to select it to be used.
