So you have this great monitor and really spectacular wallpapers, now searching for transparent Winamp skins or themes.

It’s a shame that your options are that few. Only a tiny percentage of Winamp skins are really transparent, among which my favorites are three: Spirit, Crystal and Aero Compact.

Spirit is the most transparent of all, Crystal adds a little white, and Aero Compact adds a little black.

Although I was searching for a purely transparent skin, such as Spirit, it is the last one, Aero Compact, that I now use, because it is exceptionally elegant.

All these skins suffer a serious problem, being that minimal, they fail to provide information some users may find useful or even necessary, such as the display of bit rate, etc.

Besides this, I don’ t understand why the Playlist window lacks “total time” information, so useful when one wants to burn a CD. This is a really serious defect, in my opinion, which renders all of these skins useless. However, if you are looking for a transparent /glassy Winamp skin, try them and decide by yourself. Otherwise you can try WMP Aero, a less minimal and only half-transparent skin, which displays all the useful information (and more than that), including playlist total time.
