How do I edit this iTunes skin to work for WinAmp?

[Monstar]

I'm currently using the Arachnid in Black skin by r3ginald (http://r3ginald.deviantart.com/art/Arachnid-in-Black-140216574) and I was wondering how I could change the top bar music player in his picture to work with WinAmp, because it is currently only working with iTunes. Help is appreciated

Open up the skin in your favorite text editor (like Notepad, Notepad++, etc.), and look for a PlayerName=iTunes.

Change that to PlayerName=Winamp.

Hmm.. It doesn't have "PlayerName=iTunes." I'll post the entire skin information if that will help.

Code: Select all

Sorry, I just assumed that skin was using the NowPlaying plugin.

Something like this should work:

I converted the player to use the NowPlaying plugin, however, I did not test this so you might have to mess around with this a little bit.
