Fusion AmpMan LCD by Removable Faceplate Skins - version 2.0
By Skewer
==========================================
Version 2.0 notes:
Well, everyone's second favorite skin is back! (The number one favorite
being Fusion AmpDeck, of course! I added the playlist and equalizer.
I saw no need to specify an RGB value for the peaks, they're colored
perfectly for this skin. BTW, have you noticed that after going for
about a year without update, Blayde's homepage has disappeared? It's
really a disappointment when a great skin author can not be contacted.
Just like with Pioneer ReplicAmp - I never did find the Wasit? guy.

FUSION AMPman LCD - A WinAmp "Skins" Interface.
==========================================
Or should I call this version 1.whatever? hehehe...
Version notes:
3/12/98
-------
A pretty major interface change here. What used to be
WinAmp's default visualization scheme ("fire" spectrum
analyzer and white oscilliscope) is now a full LCD process.
Personally, I think this change make the far-too-often-
overlooked oscilliscope one heckuva kick-ass viz!
The main viz viewport has been extended for aesthetic
reasons, and a light gray mesh added behind the viz area.
[My sincere thanks to Arend Miller and Mathew Tolj who
convinced me to re-explore the "all LCD" metaphor, AND who
took the time to re-work the skin to illustrate what they
meant. You guys deserve a huge round of applause. :) ]
The eject button now clicks upwards instead of downwards
because of some weird optical illusion which makes the "up"
position look off center. [Thanks to Raif Awaida for pointing
this anomaly out.]
3/11/98
-------
Firstly, Fusion AMPman is now a WinAmp "skins" set.
Just a couple of very minor modifications to clean up the
interface. With WinAmp 1.80, the viz display now sports an
all black background - something I wanted right from the
start but was unable to do.
I've also included re-designed WinAmp Speakers, coordinated
to match the AMPman skin.
Designer's notes
----------------
If you think the interface looks familiar, it is. I based it
on the look of my trusty old Sony Walkman. Kinda figured it
would make a neat design... after all, the idea of having
personal music wherever you are DID go ballistic when Sony
introduced the Walkman, and WinAmp does exactly that - your
choice of music, whatever you're doing...
Display notes
-------------
First things first: if you're using a 256-color display,
Fusion AMPman will look like crap. The very subtle shadings
in the interface will look their pretty good on a hi-color
display (16-bit) and smooth as silk on a true-color (24- or
32-bit) display.
Acknowedgements:
First and foremost, I MUST extend my heartfelt thanks to
Mike (aka "wick") of Layer3.org, whose website is almost
totally responsible for the incredible response to the
original Fusion AMPman "hack/mod/variation". You're the
best, Mike!
*** One more HUGE note of thanks to you, Mike, for awarding
Fusion AMPman Layer3.org's FIRST and still the only 5-star
rating for a single skin set!!!
Another note of thanks must also go to Marcel of MP3.com
- where Fusion AMPman made its debut - who gave it MP3.com's
very first and still the only 5-smiley rating for WinAmp
mods. Here's one more smiley for ya, Marcel... :)
Justin Frankel & company - You guys have created the single
most incredible MP3 player I have ever seen. Hats off to
you all, and my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for
including Fusion AMPman in your very first "skins" release.
You've done more than just make my day...
To Ray Waldin, who designed those WinAmp speakers - KEWL!!!
To everyone who sent me their notes of appreciation, (and I
mean I got a heckuva lot of e-mail!!!) thanks bunches for
your support. You are the main reason why Fusion AMPman became
the runaway success it has been. WOW!!!
And last but not least, to my dearest Kity, without whose
support and encouragement, Fusion AMPman might never have
made its debut. This one's for you, babe... I love you.
[Gee... this IS starting to sound like the Academy Awards,
isn't it? ]
Hope you like Fusion AMPman as much as I had fun doing it.
This has been one helluva trip for something which was
first started for the heck of it.
Watch out for a proper homepage and for further Fusion "skins".
Cheers!

This Kurama Winamp skin took me about half a day to complete, in hours! I skinned everything I could, and most of the buttons show, so that's something that seperates it from the rest of my skins. My first two tries, I only did a few buttons before I foun ...

This is my second skin so far... It's a tribute to the argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges; the picture is a collage I made with some magazine cuttings and printed lines from some of his poems, and it's somehow the representation of my feelings about the ...
