Skins / Re: Big Bento Modern - final release v1.02

Awesome, and thanks for the donation too! I take it like a personal achievement to move people out of the old classic skin XD (joke aside, I like it because it means Winamp can have a whole new meaning for people like you, getting a new way of interact with a player that most people see as already dead -but that can have another "life" this way-).

Winamp better continue getting new lives! (where's the 1-Up emoji when I need it?) I can't imagine having to move away at this point. So many thousands of hours of music played... I've even made some small custom programs to make things work just how I want (custom controls, songticker, volumeticker, etc.). I'm sure that's kind of the standard for people on these forums, but it's great knowing there are still people keeping it alive.

Totally, that's in Winamp's preferences. See the screenshot for a quick reference (where font is grossly oversized just to show the effect), or try an even faster way by using hotkeys: Ctrl. AND Numpad "+" to increase size font or Numpad "-" to decrease.

Thanks! Just 1px up makes it much more comfortable. And here I was thinking that would be a theme setting. Silly me. Guess it's been too long since I did a proper pass through the settings. I must have been to that page before since the font is set to my usual favourite, but I don't remember it at all.

Derail and talk as much as you want, we're happy to see new people here. Specially if they have good taste in media player and skins! =)

I'm not a frequent poster on forums, but I'm sure I'll be back here to try and derail the odd thread of people with similarly good taste.

And for those of you using the skin, I'd like to know how you're doing with it now that a month has passed. Is it working fine? Does it have all the features you need? Did someone jumped from Big Bento to Modern? (is there anything you miss then?) Is the size good enough, or a bit more would be better?

Hi Victhor!

I just found this skin tonight (randomly checked out DrO's Twitter account and noticed it there) and I'm loving it! It feels very clean.

Till now I haven't really gone searching for skins. Years ago I just set up the Winamp Classic skin the way I liked it and proceeded to get set in my ways. This skin, with a slightly tweaked version of the Winamp Classic colour theme that was included, makes for a perfect replacement!



I'm curious, is it possible to adjust the font size in the Media Library/Playlist sections? The current size is perfectly functional and fits lots of information in. Sometimes it would just be nice to bump it up a size so it's a little more comfortable to read.

If I come across any issues or think of any suggestions after using it for awhile, I'll be sure to let you know.

Aside: Seeing as how this is my first post here, I'd just like to give a big thank you to both you, Victhor, for the skin, and DrO for working on WACUP. I remember my brother and sister both using Winamp almost 20 years ago and when I started doing more on computers, Winamp was what I turned to. For the last 15+ years, it's given me everything I've needed for playing and managing my music. Even with trying other media players, nothing works as well or feels as right as Winamp, and it's great to see people keeping it alive. So thank you both (and anyone else doing the same) for that.

Now I'll stop trying to derail the thread
