If you choose to use one or two pictures to make your skin you will have to adjust the size of the bitmap. The actual size of each Winamp window is 275 pixels by 116. If you do not want your pictures to stretch or shrink, then use a paint tool like Gimp to edit your bitmaps before making them into skins. You have also to note that any bitmap loaded will be stretched/shrunk to fit.


If you want to use the lovely photo clicked on your brand new digital camera to make the skin which is in jpg format you will first have to convert it into a bitmap. You have to note that we can use only bitmaps to make the skins. You can choose one, two or three pictures to make the winamp skin as per your wish.

On starting QuickSkin it displays the window shown below. We can create cool Winamp skins in a jiffy with QuickSkin.
