Personal opinion:
"Pictureskins" made with generators like this, will in 99.99% cases turn out to be horrid and close to useless.
Please take the time to make the skins yourself - at least if you want a good looking skin.
Then you can actually sit back and say: I have created a skin!

In the, close to, 10 years I´ve been in the skinning-business I have yet to see a ´generated´ skin that I´d wanna use - for more than 1 second, and I know there are many out there that share my opinion.

Allow me to disagree with you, Snowman buddy, becoz u see, not all creative people are experts in coding/programming that is needed to build a skin by scratch. for exp.: i´m at my best when it comes to cartooning, illustrating, but i hardly know any programming stuff. software like sknamp are a boon for creative guys like me. :p

Sorry to disagree sunil... I don´t use Winamp ´cos as a user who originally had only 32 gigs I found it a bit bloated for my machine. However the last thing I want to see if I´m using a player is some guys sex symbol, ball team, or favourite aunt chopped up to meet the requirements of WinAmps skinning neccessities.

I was lucky to find my chosen player ( which with a number of plugs still rides at less than a megabyte if I keep aternative skins in another folder... my choice ), and it is easy to skin... however I agree with Snowman, if you want to skin the world... go ahead, but don´t unleash the worst of it on the rest of us.

Cool

No offence sunil4u, but that just shows how much you actually don´t know about skinning WinAmp Wink
Makeing skins for WinAmp only requires coding if your skin is for Modern WinAmp(3/5.X)skins.
Classic WinAmp(2.X) skins requires nada coding what so ever.

So there´s no excuse for "slacking" - just get ´cracking´ Wink

I´d be happy to provide the base-images required if anyone needs´em.
Sure, it takes longer and is harder, but hell... the result is way better.

I agree with everyone above except you sunil4u. You state you are a 100% creative guy yet you opt for a skinning machine to do the work for you. If ,as you say, you are 100% creative you would be only too happy to get down with the manual creativity of skinning. I mainly make desktop walls and manually do the work in different applications......I don´t just sit and click buttons and take what gets generated. Start talking sense and maybe we will listen to you. You have taken it upon yourself to argue with three comparable and competent skinners above and succeeded with only getting egg on your face. Quit while you are ahead! Congratulation Cool Wink ...can you not see you are contradicting yourself?

mhawk, u got me totally wrong. by 100% creative, i meant i´m a ´concept´ guy rather than ´technical´ guy. i create concepts, and software helps me turn my concept into reality. i dislike any work that is even remotely technical in nature.
no contradictions here!

You get out of something exactly what you put in...

Or to put it technically, effort is proportional to quality Wink
