[CHANGES MADE] Issue with Classic Skin Seeking Bar!
« on: June 01, 2026, 09:25:43 PM »
Hey guys, nice to meet ya :)

Idk if this post will get some attention, but I figured it was worth trying. I'll give context on this issue I have. I've been using WACUP for a looong time. Of course, I've always made sure to update to recent versions when they are out, but I've noticed that since some last updates, some seeking bars from classic skins have disappeared. I have no clue if this is an issue with classic skins or the WACUP itself, but I know for a fact that the skin I'm using right now isn't the only one. Is there a way to fix this? It's not that big of a deal, but it's something that has been bothering me for a bit XD.

The picture where the seeking bar is visible is from last year, the other picture is from today.  ;D

What skin is this? As most likely it's related to the changes made around the end of last year / start of this that allowed for more faux transparency for the likes of the seekbar element & a few other places for classic skins. Those changes likely aren't handling something that the image files for this skin are doing vs what I've already tried to put in place (e.g. some old gimp created ones) so until I can try things out with a copy of the skin there's little I can do to resolve this.

Hello! thanks for replying! sure, here's the skin, you can check it out on winamp musseum. It is indeed a really old skin. I know the transparency of the bar isn't intended though, you can even see it in the bmp files inside the skin.

This should now be fixed for the next build now I've found out about a flag in the bitmap header that I should've been checking which seems to be the best way to determine if a bitmap file contains valid alpha channel data or if it's just a 32-bit bitmap with junk alpha channel data (i.e. one that should've been saved as a 24-bit image to save space & avoid any confusion over the format of the data).
