FINALLY!

I've started working on this skin about 4 years ago(!), after creating this old abstract piece [link] - which was originally named "Distant Vision" - but now when the skin is done I've changed the name of the old work, because I kept the color theme for the skin (well, sort of ) but there's no real connection between these two anymore.

However, I've created a brand new wallpaper to match this skin, which you can download here: [link]

Anyway, this is by far the most complex, the most time consuming (I'm unable to tell you exact time spent on it but I think it could quite possibly be well over 150 hours!) and simply THE BEST Winamp skin I've ever created (and maybe the best I'll ever create because I really don't feel like starting another one in a near future ). I believe the idea of making four different versions so you can dock graphical equalizer to the main window on three different sides and still get seamless background (or you can turn the EQ off and the main window will work on its own - that's what the fourth version is for) is quite unique itself and it tells much about how perfect I wanted this one to be... And I dare to say I've succeeded! Because this skin is most likely like nothing you've ever seen in Winamp skin... It's not all about nice picture in the background, trying to show as much of it as possible, thus trading looks for usability and it's not another high-tech metal gadget either (with all respect to the few awesome metal skins I've seen, this theme has became f***ing overused and boring in my opinion ). This, ladies and gentlemen, is more like interactive painting. Easy (and pleasant) on eyes, easy to use and very detailed. Every control button is visible and usually easy to understand - and if you're still wondering what a certain button does, just hold your pointer over it for a while to see the tooltip. As for the small buttons on bottom of a playlist, if you're not familiar with their functions, you can right click them to bring a pop-up menu which shows you all the functions, so you can easily figure out what do the abbreviations on the skinned buttons stand for.

Compatible with Winamp 5+ (and much faster than modern skins - if you multitask a lot, you WILL notice the difference)

FAQ:

What are the different versions?
Distant Vision 1.00 - version for basic Winamp window layout = equalizer docked below the main window
Distant Vision 1.00 EQL - equalizer docked on the left
Distant Vision 1.00 EQR - equalizer docked on the right
Distant Vision 1.00 EQS - equalizer separate (meant basically for turning it off)

In the playlist mini buttons, when I click the "minus", there's an option "INV" instead of "CROP". Why?
Because I needed three letter variant and "CRP" or "CRO" didn't look good in my opinion. The "INV" stands for "Inversion" so it makes perfect sense anyway

Why the hell it took you 4 years to create this??!
Many long breaks, many hobbies and stuff to do and yes - a bit of laziness, I guess. Sorry

How did you create the background for the skin?
It's based on one of my photos (and greatly enhanced in Photoshop ).

And that's all folks. Hope you like it!
