[edit] Overview

A Winamp Skin is a compressed package file for the Winamp audio player software that modifies the visual appearance of the software application.

Winamp Skins are distributed as .wsz or .zip files. Their contents consist of ZIP archives with a directory structure that can be read by the Winamp music player. WSZ files came into existence to create a standardized structure for people who wished to customize their Winamp players and easily upload, share, download, and open their files without having to move files to a specific location.[1]

[edit] Structure

Winamp Skin files should almost all be BMP image files. However, CUR files can also be included to display custom cursors when hovering over sections of the Winamp player[2]. Winamp Skin files must follow this structure[3]:

1) Main:

   Main.bmp: Main Frame 
   Titlebar.bmp: Titlebar 
   Cbuttons.bmp: Control Buttons 
   Shufrep.bmp: Shuffle and Repeat Buttons 
   Volume.bmp: Volume Bar 
   Balance.bmp: Balance Bar 
   Monoster.bmp: Mono/Stereo Indicators 
   Posbar.bmp: Position Bar 
   Playpaus.bmp: Play/Paused Indicators 
   Numbers.bmp: Digit Reference 
   Text.bmp: Text Reference 

2) Equalizer:

   Eqmain.bmp: Equalizer Main Frame 
   Eq_ex.bmp: Equalizer Window Shade Bar 

3) Playlist:

   Pledit.bmp: Playlist Editor Frame/Buttons 

4) Mini-browser:

   Mb.bmp: Mini-browser Frame 

5) AVS:

   Avs.bmp: AVS Frame 

6) For Winamp 2.9/5.x:

   Video.bmp: Video Window 
   Gen.bmp: General Purpose Window 
   Genex.bmp: General Purpose Buttons and Sliders
