-	To put it as simply as possible, skins change the way your Winamp player looks. If you want to get fancy and say that it changes the GUI (graphical user interface) then you can, but really all you need to know is if you download or create a new skin, Winamp will put on a little mask and pretend to look different. Check ~~out the~~ [[Skin Developer]] page for more details.	+	To put it as simply as possible, skins change the way your Winamp player looks.

		+	=== Online Service Developer===
		+	[[Online_Service_Developer\|Online Services]] are web pages that are rendered by the embedded browser within Winamp. The awesomeness of these pages is that they can interact with the Winamp Player. In this way a web page can start and stop the player, examine and create playlists, enqueue songs for playback, the colors used in the skin of the player, etc. We're excited to see what you come up with by merging html web pages and the Winamp player.
