    I'm also a sucker for the Classic skin, using any other skin doesn't make it winamp anymore for me.

    I use a modified Blendamp. The reason I modified it is because I use winamp with transparency and I sometimes want to see what's going on behind the player. A more basic design will let me do this easier, so I removed some icons and made the pause, fwd, etc buttons a bit easier to see.

    I also like using a skin called C10k2 - Carbo KAI, which is nice and simple. As you can see, I like most of my computer interface quite minimalistic, yet still retaining user-friendliness :D

    Oh and guys, set your global hotkeys, it makes Winamp so much better to use, here's mine:

    BTW, if you guys don't know, to edit skins, make a copy of the .wal file, then change the extension to .zip and extract to a new folder. In the folder will be loads of .bmp files. You can edit these with MSPaint if you with (I find it easiest with that, instead of photoshop etc). Winamp will use the folder fine, but if you wish, you can zip it up and change it back to a .wal file if you want to share it with someone else. :D
