To install the skin on Winamp, after you have downloaded the skin file, just double click on the file and agree on the whole thing that Winamp are spouting about (I’m pretty sure the skin provided here are safe to use as I have tested on my computer myself).
One additional note, once you have install your winamp skin, the skin will be copied to the Winamp’s skin folder. If you are installing it in a default option, you can find your installed skin at C:\\Program Files\Winamp\Skins.
Install the Winamp Skin Files
- Skins are downloaded as a .zip file which must first be scanned using a virus scanning program, then unzipped to a temporary folder you can create on your desktop. Inside that folder you will find a .wsz file for a classic skin. For a modern skin you will find a .wal file or a folder with many files inside.
- If you have downloaded a .wsz or .wal file you can simply double click on it and click Yes to install it.
- The .wsz file or .wal file is then copied to your C:\Program Files\Winamp\Skins\ folder.
- If you downloaded a modern skin you will need to copy the folder full of files to your C:\Program Files\Winamp\Skins\ folder manually.
How to Use Your New Winamp Skin
- Start the Winamp player, if there is an Options menu present click on that, choose Skins, then select the skin you wish to use.
- If you don't see any menus right click on a blank place on the body of the player, choose Skins from the right click menu. Select the skin you wish to use.
- That's all there is to it and all without buying any programs.
