Hey,

Just got xmms, and I quite like it, however, a really sexy skin that I had seen at gnome-look.org leaves me wanting to squeeze a bit more visual appeal out of this app.
Im not sure how to install this, any help would be coo.
The link for the download is below, along with a couple pictures.
The second mentions a media library and video player for win amp. Could anyone offer their experience in this regard?

[edit]
Keisad brought it to my attention that the above link indeed leads to something entirely different, but since he/she liked it, ill leave it!
The link to the gnome-look.org xmms theme is:

Uh, you may want to double check that link. It leads to a wallpaper (which I now have a fancy for). Anyways...

In order to install xmms skins, I believe that you must download the file and move it to the

/home/keisad/.xmms/Skins

directory. I believe you can just take the file and move it.. unless its zipped or something.

Thanks a lot!
Glad you liked the wallpaper by the way, I was impressed by it, and it now graces my desktop!
