One of the appeals of the Winamp media player is the ability to give it different skins. Skins give the player a new face by changing its color, shape or adding new buttons. Winamp will work just fine with the default skin, but you can install a few new ones when you want a new look. Winamp allows anyone to create new skins, so your options are almost endless.
Instructions
1. Look for the lightening bolt icon in the lower right-hand corner of the Winamp window. Right-click on the lightening bolt to bring up the menu of options.
2. Find some new skins. From the lightening bolt menu select "Skins" and then "Get More Skins." This will prompt your default Internet browser to open up the Winamp skins website.
3. Browse the available skins and pick out some you would like to try. When you find one, click on the "Download" button and download it into the skins folder, which is found inside your main "Winamp" folder in the "Program Files" folder.
4. Go back to Winamp. Winamp will automatically install the skin most recently downloaded.
5. Install a new skin. To change the skin to a previously downloaded Winamp skin, right-click on the lightening bolt and select "Skins." A list of all the skins you have downloaded will be displayed. Select one and it will be installed.
6. Go back to the default skin. If you miss the original skin which came with Winamp, choose "Base Skin" to install the original skin.
