WinAmp 3???

from WinCustomize Forums
I just downloaded WinAmp 3 and went to the WinAmp section and saw there is a WinAmp 3 sub category. Lo and behold NO WINAMP 3 SKINS!!! Why aren't people making WinAmp 3 skins?

To mess with your head

Just kidding. it's not that they aren't being made, it's just that people are probably not aware of the new subsection yet, or haven't gotten around to uploading any skins yet.

people are making them, just not submitting them here. here's some: http://www.deviantart.com/browse/?section=wathree ... kinwashi submitted his latest version of probe, one of the top WA3 skins released to date. might just check it out if you're at all interested.

Still, there a a few people who make them, but not a whole lot; basically for the same reason not a lot of people make WMP7 skins. It's cool, powerful, but very time consuming and requires some programing knowledge that most skin artists don't have.

Plus making skins for a non-final codebase is often frustrating work (WB XP was bad enough .

You can make freeform skins without scripting. But people fear what they don't know (and tend to not skin what they do not use).

Indeed crae, but it's still XML based, and those 3 letters scare people.

it seems to be getting worse
people are now saying i am some sort of strange pervert. all i did was get 8 different builds of vim6 compiled and working across 5 different OS's all round the building.

/me wonders what they will think when they discover i am graduating onto vim plugins
