Hey,
I am going to create a pack of the best (most popular) skins for Winamp.
I already created few Winamp Icon Packs, Winamp Color Themes Pack (and of course Winamp Language Pack).
I was also working in the past on Winamp Plugins Pack - but then DrO made WACUP with the best plugins :)
WACUP is the best Media Player on this planet!
If someone is interested, it is me:

For now, Code name is Winamp Community Skin Pack.
There are some huge packs of Winamp skins in internet...
For example:
- Winamp Skin Museum (https://skins.webamp.org)
- MyWinamp.com (https://www.mywinamp.com/category/skins/)
- WinampHeritage.com (https://winampheritage.com/skins)
etc,
It all offers thousands of skins (mostly classic skins) and cool Webamp player. We all know it (great job, Jordan!)
It is cool and very necessary, but I want to create something different, something for ordinary people.
Easy to install, easy to use - and something great for everyone (Yes, I know, you can't please everyone).
Creating such pack will take a while...
First step is to get the skins. But, as we know, there are thousands of skins!
Which Winamp skin is the best? Which is the most popular?
I want the best ones. Most downloaded, most used and loved by users...
The idea is to place 25 (for example) skins of each type:
1. Classic Skins (.wsz)
2. Modern Skins (.wal)
3. Mixed - CPro Skins
So, maybe you - Winamp Community will give me some tips?
What skin should I add? What is the best skin in your opinion that HAVE to be in that pack?
So, please add skin name and link to download. I will test every skin (will add the best).
Thanks for your opinion!

Hi Paweł,
Here is an old favorite of mine: Invicta v1.31 (https://download.nullsoft.com/customize/component/3/new/S/Invicta_-_Fixed.wal) with Plague's fix (https://forums.winamp.com/forum/winamp/winamp-discussion/267969#post3488279). Very small for modern screens but I like to use it when in nostalgic mood.
My topmost favorite is PeterK.'s Quinto Black CT (https://quinto-black-ct.info/) but if you add it then you will need to update your skin pack whenever PeterK. releases a new version.
Blayde's Fusion AMPdeck (https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/winamp/1720/) was the number 1 skin during the Winamp 1 era and a blue copy of it became the default skin for XMMS.

Yes, Quinto is great. Unfortunately, Quinto will NOT be in that pack (we agree this with Peter).
Thanks for your voice!
