I hope you like it and you have some suggestions so I can learn from my mistakes. (Edited by Arnitald on 04-19-2004 11:07)

You might work on the transparency a bit, and some of the edgey, blade-looking decor looks a bit tacky. Other than that, good stuff __________________ War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength.

I'm always disappointed in how hard it is to find a few good, clean, minimalistic skins for media players. With everyone adding more bells and whistles (sometimes literally), it makes me wonder whether that many people out there really dig the techno/grunge style. Ah well, not that it matters, I have an aversion to WMP anyways. Winamp all the way!
counterfeitbacon Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: Vancouver, WA Insane since: Apr 2002	posted 04-20-2004 01:46 Ahh, ok. I was under the impression that it was Winamp, as I don't know anyone that actually uses WMP And that would explain my transparency statement too, as I believe that Winamp 5 uses additive transparency (or something to that effect). But, more crits: I agree with ozphactor. More is less, in a skin. It looks cool, but overall functionality suffers. __________________ War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength.
