I never appreciate the amount of work that Winamp Modern skins actually take until I'm knee-deep in it with a giant Illustrator artboard of UI elements, a many-layered Clip file of raster assets, and a bucket of XML and MAKI scripts. And then I do a silly thing like add ~20 color themes.

i've always had a love/hate relationship with modern skins when it came to layouting and scripting, dunno why but it really felt like it could allow you more than it can do right now that and that it is janky as all hell

Long live the jank! Love/hate relationship does sum it up.

i love it because you can essentially write your own widgets in it i hate it because of how limiting it can be, and that winamp is the only source of truth (which can also crash if you dare look at it wrong)
