Thanks to whomever skinned the video.bmp file for me!  I appreciate it!


Based on:
Winamp skin for Winamp 2.5 by Obi McNally - v2.22
 Copyright 1999

-= Installation =-

The zip file should have 22 files in it including this one.
Unzip all the files into your /winamp/skins directory (it will create a 
sub-dir called SONY MP-FX3) and in winamp hit alt-s, choose sony
mp-fx3-2 and off you go. 

-= Recommended VIS options =-

Spectrum Analyzer
Fire style 
Thin bands
70fps refresh rate
Analyser falloff full (right)
Line scope
Smooth VU

-= About =-

The displays are blueish-green.  It's made to look neat and tidy.
If you find any glitches or problems or if you have 
any suggestions let me know and if I agree with you I'll change it :]
The original skin was made using PSP5 and 6 (www.jasc.com) and with the
help of a couple plugins.  The revised skin was edited on Adobe Photoshop 5.5.

-= Features =-

- 5 windows, all sony style, no winamp default ugly graphics ;]
- SONY MP-FX3 Main window
- SONY MP-EQ3 Graphic Equaliser
- SONY MP-PL3 Playlist Editor
- SONY MP-MB3 Minibrowser
- SONY MP-ML3 Media Library
- All windowshade modes, fully functional
- All buttons have depression stages (ok not the slider buttons,
  they dont really need em)
- Backgrounds of skin graphics are yellow to make for easier
  editing (not that you need to edit it :])
- Customised font and vis, best ever :]
- Realistic LED time display <- this changed somewhat...looks
  better though
- Metallic slider buttons
- Like 99% original content, the only thing I didn't make was the Sony
  logo which is from the Sony 4000 skin

***NOTE:  The following are changes noted by Obi McNally.***
-= Changes since v2.2 (14/9/99) =-

I have started the changes again from scratch, this time i will put 
dates.

10/10/99 - 	Well due to popular demand i have removed the text 
		from the bottom left hand corners (hmmm)
	 -	Thanks to Nick i discovered an easter egg that changes 
		the titlebar image, to see this type "nullsoft" slowly 
		in the main window, and remember to press escape after 
		the L's
	 -	Added the idle stop indicator to the main display 
		(it used to be there but somehow it dissapeared)
20/9/99 - 	The battery indicator (like on most sony portable 
		products)
		it doesnt actually change but it does make it look 
		more realistic
	-	Colourful EQ sliders (green-yellow-orange-red) i like 
		this as	it looks like lil LED lights
