The Base Skin is a copy of the default skin built into Winamp. All you have to do to skin Winamp is paint over or replace a skin component with your own design and, ''voilà'', your own personalized version of Winamp. You can replace any or all of the components in a skin. Anything you don't replace will use its Base Skin counterpart. Naturally, the Base Skin components will look out of place, so we suggest changing every file.

The Base Skin can be split into six logical segments, consisting of the following files:

1) [[Main]]:
:Main.bmp: Main Frame
:Titlebar.bmp: Titlebar
:Cbuttons.bmp: Control Buttons
:Shufrep.bmp: Shuffle and Repeat Buttons
:Volume.bmp: Volume Bar
:Balance.bmp: Balance Bar
:Monoster.bmp: Mono/Stereo Indicators
:Posbar.bmp: Position Bar
:Playpaus.bmp: Play/Paused Indicators
:Numbers.bmp: Digit Reference
:Text.bmp: Text Reference

2) [[Equalizer]]:
:Eqmain.bmp: Equalizer Main Frame
:Eq_ex.bmp: Equalizer Window Shade Bar

3) [[Playlist]]:
:Pledit.bmp: Playlist Editor Frame/Buttons

4) [[Mini-browser]]:
:Mb.bmp: Mini-browser Frame

5) [[AVS]]:
:Avs.bmp: AVS Frame

6) [[For Winamp 2.9/5.x]]: 
:Video.bmp: Video Window
:Gen.bmp: General Purpose Window
:Genex.bmp: General Purpose Buttons and Sliders
