How do I install .wsz files?
First, you should make sure you have the most up-to-date version of Winamp. Visit the official site and download it if you're not updated. This is to ensure that you will always have the player with the least amount of vulnerabilities.
Now all you do is unzip the downloaded skin from my site and double-click the .wsz file. It will then ask if you want to install the skin, and you just click yes.

What is a .wsz file?
.wsz stands for Winamp Skin Zip file, and it's the fastest way to automatically install a skin. Created specically for Winamp, it makes it much simpler and easier for a novice to install their skins.

What if I want a .zip file and there's only a .wsz file to download?
Simple, just unzip the folder it comes downloaded in, and instead of double-clicking it, rename the file extention from .wsz to .zip and it will be just like any old skin (that you may be familiar with).

Why use .wsz files?
I learned it was the "standard" that Winamp Skinners use, and it makes it easier for the less computer-savvy touse Winamp and to customise their player. ;-)

How come your player shows up Korean and Japanese characters?
Well, I used this tutorial and always show it to others when they ask~ I'm not sure if the newest player has finally been updated to be able show Korean or Japanese correctly.

I want to make a skin. How?
There is a tutorial available on Visual Pollution. It is the method which these skins were created with.

Can I post your skins on other places, like on a forum?
I prefer you only post a screen shot and tell them to come to Visual Pollution to download. Don't take credit and don't host my skins on any other site. It's not really that hard to link back, is it? :-D However, if you have a specific question, email me: visual [at] shallow-sleep.com and we'll see.

Can I request a future skin? Please???
Sure, email me (visual [at] shallow-sleep.com) your requests and I might do it if I find the right kind of image.
