My fourth completed Winamp skin, and my first finished in two and a half years. @_@ Those who have read my other skin readmes may remember that there was a skin I kept expecting to be my next, that never was?
This is it. This is the very first skin I ever started, back in the spring of 2001. Sad thing is? I'm not even that big a fan of "X"! But I thought this was a gorgeous image the moment I saw the original poster in Asuka Magazine, and it never got any less pretty. :D
This is the 256-color version of the skin; I may make the sixteen million version available on my website. I just had to reduce the colors to get the compressed filesize down to something any reasonable archive would accept. Title font is Brandywine. I forget what font I used for the numbers. The Gen window colors could probably use some work, and I wish the sidebar tiling on the resizeable windows was smoother. Overall, though, I'm pretty pleased!
If you like this skin, or have suggestions for refinements, I'd love to hear from you!
Please don't post this skin on any websites or archives without my permission.

This isn't the most beautiful skin around but it's functional. I've made it minimilist so as not to obscure the artwork generated for the XBOX demo (as featured in the skin). I hope some folks use it because I'll probably get my ass kicked if it's ever se ...

I'm happy to give permission to Dangeruss (Russell Schwenkler) to use my 'Dervish' design for WindowBlinds and NextStart skins as a basis for his designs for matching application skins.
