Overview
A Winamp Skin is a compressed package file for the Winamp audio player software that modifies the visual appearance of the software application.
Winamp Skins are distributed as .wsz or .zip files. Their contents consist of ZIP archives with a directory structure that can be read by the Winamp music player. WSZ files came into existence to create a standardized structure for people who wished to customize their Winamp players and easily upload, share, download, and open their files without having to move files to a specific location.[1]
Structure
Winamp Skin files should almost all be BMP image files. However, CUR files can also be included to display custom cursors when hovering over sections of the Winamp player[2]. Winamp Skin files must follow this structure[3]:
