[xbillclintonx99]

i agree

I Like the two you suggested - the army (camoflouge) one and the grey, black and red one. More Skins would probably mean more users!

[COLOR=indigo]I Hope this'll help! I agree with all of you but the fact is Limewire needs to pay people to create them. The only easier way to do it is to make your own. Therefore complying to your own specifications and needs.

[COLOR=deeppink] U may be confused by my long word's but well i'll explain it differently if any of you have a problem. LOLZ!

It's not just a question of more skins: the main issue to create WinAmp-like skins is the construction of the GUI interface, and the difficulty to refresh efficiently a completely dynamic interface. This would only be possible if the GUI was scriptable with a set of component objects. This is much development...

Some people like dynamic skins rather than just recoloring themes. Personnally I hate these skins that make the GUI difficult to use (an example of a poor GUI interface that is difficult to work with is WinDVD, where the user is always trying to guess where is the button to perform basic tasks, or where is the tiny icon that allows opening a configuration menu or show a playlist).

I much prefer a simpler and intuitive interface, with little GUI improvements, which allows performing the right thing intuitively and coherently. WinAmp has a very horrible default interface which is difficult to read, and my opinion is that iTunes or Windows Media Player come with much easier default interfaces. However they support custom themes I never use as they are so difficult to learn using.

wat is GUI???

[verdyp]

GUI = Graphical User Interface.
It's a common acronym used in software design to separate the user interface (design of screens, input/output forms, menus, icons, colors, help, and all elements which interact directly with the user...) from the invisible working "core" application.
