I remember my two favorite skins: working iPod 4G and iPod Nano 1st gen. With functional scrollwheel and menus.
Was it really since Winamp 5? IIRC, I installed them on Winamp 3.
Edit: I just fell into a nostalgia spiral reading Winamp forums. It still has posts from 2000.
- smitelli 2y agoWinamp 3 definitely had a more modern skin system compared to the sliced BMP files in 2.x skins.
- infotainment 2y agoWinamp 3 was a total rewrite of Winamp using a completely bespoke fully skinnable GUI system. All Winamp 3 skins were what would eventually be called "modern" skins. However, Winamp 3 also had performance issues, and ultimately the negative reaction to it led Nullsoft to kill most of Winamp 3. The GUI code (and associated APIs mentioned in this blog post) were hacked into the older Winamp 2.x codebase and given the "modern skin" name. (The name "Winamp 5" was supposed to be a play on 2 (codebase) + 3 (modern skins) = 5)
- captbaritone 2y agoThere were also “other” reasons to skip version number 4: https://jordaneldredge.com/notes/winamp-4-skin/ https://jordaneldredge.com/notes/winamp-4-skin/
- SuperNinKenDo 2y agoThat's how I remember it as well. I think I ran Winamp 3 in Wine a year or two ago and whatever I was running definitely supported modern skins. Perhaps these Winamp 5 skins are a different beast.
