winamp3 skins are pimp. fully scriptable, fully freeform, and it takes a hell of a lot more skill to make a decent wa3 skin that it does to make a wa2 skin. the only thing that is bad about wa3 skins is the "resources" it takes, but if you have a decent amount of ram it isn't that big of a deal. and in case you didn't know, the default wa5 "modern" skin is a wa3 skin.
