Which is insane. I never seen something as bug riddled as the Modern Skin support. If you remove it, all is well. o.o

@Hotcakes No actually, Winamp3's skin as far as I remembered look liked Winamp Classic, only not horribly odd looking, and having a better overall layout and appearance that grew on me.

If I still had my copy of Winamp3 (which was YEARS ago when I still had my Dell before my father comendeered it due to his Medion crashing for reasons unknown to me...) I'd show a screenshot.

I did a Google image search for "Winamp3", and found this, which, at first glance, looks just like Winamp Classic. But you're right, there are a few small differences. Perhaps this is what you're looking for? I haven't downloaded it, or tried it, but as near as I can tell, it should be pretty close to what you're looking for. Hope that helps. Mouser X over and out.

This is what I miss alot.

Not sure how I'm going to beable to get this skin working in Winamp5, in all the ways it worked in Winamp3, but it's worth a shot.

@Mouser: Thanks, thats actually quite a nice skin! There's even a Winamp 5 modern -> classic skin port by Zarko Jovic thats quite nice.

@Mouser

The skin is indeed, Winamp3, but Winamp3 had a darker toned version of this that was selectable as a option I don't even remember now, and this classic skin doesn't appear to have the option to make it that certain tone that I like.

But still, thanks for the good find!

I still miss the "Thinger" though, *sigh*

@Hotcakes

I obviously -do- know that modern skins have a Guru-style error message, Rukario apparently didn't. Sorry you didn't get the joke.

@Kaminari

I've known about the "Guru mediation error" ever since reading about it on wikipedia (OH NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), and I have no idea why Modern Skin Support would be so pissy and unstable.. I don't even make us of it either, I've been perfectly fine with Winamp3's default skin and glad to have it in Winamp5 at long last, thanks to Mouser X's search.

@Kaminari: apparently he did. Besides which -he- brought it up...

@Rukario: The Modern Skins use some blend of Nullsofts Java-like language they invented 'for' Winamp 3 - everything Winamp 3 did used the language but it proved to be slow and unstable, hence the whole build was dropped and they went back to Winamp 2 + Modern Skins support, the only thing they kept from Winamp 3 (well, as far as the end user is concerned anyway).

Since then, code stability does not appear to be something Nullsoft have had in mind... I swear it's just gone downhill since.

The one thing Winamp3 was godly at, was playing back WAV and MP3's FAR better than Winamp5 ever could do.

And by that I mean, the output wasn't bugged or fucked up in any way, and the visualizations never fucked over if the output was Unsigned instead of Signed. (As in Unsigned 8-bit, Signed 8-bit visualizes just fine, Unsigned 8-bit is TOTALLY fucked up..)

Oh and one fundamental aspect, Winamp3 could actually play back MP3's that have a RIFF header instead of what's normally expected for MPEG-3, see games like Freelancer, and a few others, Aliens vs Predators 2 as well.
