Installation

How to install
To install this skin, just copy the 'skins' repertory into your Winamp installation folder (default : C:\Program Files\Winamp )
First use
The first time you will use the 'Windows Live Winamp' skin, the player window and the playlist window may be separated. To avoid this problem, just make the PlayList window visible (if not) : alt + e and then grab the bottom of the window ( red rectangle in the image bellow ) and move it just under the player window. It will 'snap' by itself in the right place.

Then, to move winamp, just grab somewhere in the blue part, and the 2 windows will move together as if they were just one
Shadows
A shadow is available in the compact skin (not in the play list view, cause playlist is hard to skin and i'm just a noob). To enable it, go to main menu (right click in a empty place of the window) and then, make sure that the option->preferences->skins->modern skins->alpha blending->Enable desktop alpha blending option is enabled.
User picture
A custom user-picture can be shown in the skin ( where is shown the avatar in Windows Live Messenger ). To replace the default picture, just replace the 'userpic.png' file in the skin repertory by your own image. it must be 46*46 px. If not, only the 46*46 first pixels will be shown. Compact skin and normal skin have separated user-picture (modify one will not affect the other).
