umm, welcome to neowin

there are already WA 5 colour themes pre-installed, simply click the config tab and click colour schemes

woah color themes too. man winamp 5 is just getting better and better.

October 19, 2003

yea i know there is pre installed color themes but you can make your own you know...

TruBD: thanks

yeah ... it would be good to see some other color schemes for wa5 ... :yes:

the wa3 default skin color schemes are good ...even if wa3 itself sux bigtime ... :p

October 19, 2003

What I did was copy over the color-presets.xml from mmd3 over the color-presets.xml from moderna. Most of the color schemes transfered pretty well, a few have issues though (like white text on a white bg)

October 22, 2003

I looked into that problem and its because there ar parameters missing in the color-presets.xml from mmd3...

Why not use the mmd3 skin alltogether?

I hope u made a backup on moderna color-presets.xml so u can compare if u want to fix that...

I have no clue what kind of color system its using otherwise i would get starting doing some themes myself, anyone knows whats being used?

Take a look at the Winamp forum (then the Winamp 3 skinning section) - they have a sticky thread there where they are submitting colour themes. :D

hope someone comes up with some of those color themes soon, ready to stick in the wa 5 skins folder n click on :cool: :cool:

well basicly get to this location C:\Program Files\Winamp\Plugins\ColorThemes\Winamp Modern may not exist and you may have to create those last 2 folders but anyway

next create a blank text file in the winamp modern folder and rename it default.xml

next paste this exactly without the - into that xml file and save it

-------------------------------

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

</gammaset>

</WinampAbstractionLayer>

---------------------------------------------

make a copy of the default.xml and tweak it

here is one that has been tweaked (not by me im only a n00b <-heh) its called uranium

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

</gammaset>

</WinampAbstractionLayer>

--------------------------------------------

Thanks for the info divertom15, that made it alot easier to implement new themes...

Ooh and i love u to... :D

Here are some themes that i found on the Winamp forums

default.txtFetching info...

October 23, 2003

Apparently i spoke to early about the easyness... WA5 just shuts down when i try to change to modern...

It worked with the theme you wrote in your post but when i try to add more themes it shuts down...

do u know whats wrong?

A file for each theme?

knutte you need a new file for each theme.

ok i get it now how to make themes ... but while the ones i make seem to work, i get this error when winamp 5 starts :

error parsing xml layer[skin name.xml]

no element found at line 38

heres an example.. and i copied it from the winamp forum at http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?th...threadid=153162 like they said :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

</gammaset>

... thats how it appears in my xml file i created (single file for each theme) ... anyone any clue as to what I'm doing wrong ?

thanks :)

Did you put this tag at the end?

</WinampAbstractionLayer>

Also, you dont have to have a seperate .xml file for each color scheme, just put them all in one file, thats what I did and it works fine for me.

It should go:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<WinampAbstractionLayer version="1.0"

</WinampAbstractionLayer>

Whats the filename for that file?

I tried this and it didnt work for me...

1,890 · October 24, 2003

i just called the file mythemes.xml & it resides in winamp\Plugins\Colorthemes\Winamp Modern works fine for me .. but i had to create the Colorthemes & Winamp Modern folders in the Plugins folder like divertom15 said.

the xml file that I made (has about 29 different color themes in it) but since its other peoples work & i only made the .xml file .. dunno if i can post it here ? (its 53.5kb anyway) .... pm me for it ? and then just create those two folders like divertom15 said and put it in the Winamp Modern folder... works fine after that ;)
