• Alpha Blending:

  • Enable Desktop Alpha Blending: Use alpha blending to make the skin smooth blend in with the desktop (Windows 2000 or later only). Note that alpha blending uses more CPU, but not all modern skins make use of it (eg. the default Winamp Modern skin doesn't use alpha blending at all).

This setting affects the text in the titlebar for individual windows, and also the text in the main window songticker (depending on whether some of the other options below are also enabled/disabled). You may get better results for displaying unicode characters if you uncheck this option under non-English/Latin based OS'es. Also note that as from Winamp 5.5, Modern skins which a version of v1.3 or higher (such as Bento or Winamp Modern) no longer use this option, regardless of whether it is checkmarked or not.

  • Charmap Encoding: Select a character set from the drop-down list, if required (the default 'Auto' setting should suffice in most cases). Note that this setting is mainly used for rendering non-standard fonts.

  • Use the alternate fonts if the skin defines them: If checkmarked, uses the font defined in the current skin (if any). This setting is not recommended if you require support for unicode characters.

  • Keep primary font in strings that contain only 7-bit chars: Uses the specified skin font for English characters only.

  • Use skin font mapper: Allows you to set specific fonts for specific skins and/or components.

  • Allow use of bitmap fonts that have not been mapped: Uncheck this option if you require support for Unicode (non-Latin) characters.

  • TrueType Replacement for Winamp Charset bitmap fonts (Replace with): Specify a font to replace the internal bitmap font, eg. if you require support for multiple character sets (Latin, Cyrillic, Oriental, etc) then select a suitable font such as 'Arial Unicode MS'.

  • Increase/Decrease size: Increases or decreases the font size in the main window songticker accordingly.

  • Keep bitmap font in strings that contain only 7-bit chars: Retains the default bitmap font for English characters only.

  • Default / Fallback: If the current skin doesn't specify a font, or specifies a font that cannot be found on the system, then use this font instead.

  • Increase/Decrease size: Increases or decreases the size of the above-specified font in the main window songticker accordingly.

• Color Themes: Choose on the listed color schemes available for the current skin.

  • Set Theme: Click this to apply a selected color theme.

General

Q: What does the Equalizer do?
A: The equalizeris similar to the bass and treble controls on a stereo or radio,however you get individualized control of specific bass or treblefrequencies. The left side are the bass frequencies and the right arethe treble. The higher the more bass/treble, lower positions the lessbass/treble and center is normal. The preamp is similar to a volumecontrol on the EQ.

PresetsQ: What are Presets?
A: Presets let you save or load custom equalizer settings. Winamp already comes with a default set of presets...

1. press Preset button.
   
2. select Load
   
3. click Preset...
   
4. There should be a list to choose from, make a choice

3. select Save
   
4. click Preset...
   
5. give it a name and Save

Q: Where can I find more presets? Where can I find presets for other genres?
A: To paraphrase, 'presets are in the 'ear' of the beholder'. It all depends on the listener and the sound system on their computer. However, if you are interested in more presets read here. Note what was mentioned about installing 'Winamp.q1' presets and how that will replace the default preset file.
Q: What are auto presets? What does the 'Auto' button do?
A: Auto presets can be set for specific media files and automatically load for each media file.

1. set the EQ to the way you like for a currently playing song or current file in main/player window.
   
2. press Presets button
   
3. select Save

Q: Will auto-presets work for audio CDs?
A: Auto-presets are based on filenames. You can add auto-presets for CD tracks, however as CD tracks are represented as Track##.cda (where ## is the track number) the presets will also be applied to tracks on other CDs.
Q: Will auto-presets work with Internet radio (EG SHOUTcast)?
A: Yes. If the stream's address is static (does not change) auto-presets will work.
TroubleshootingQ: When using the EQ I get static or choppy music, what can I do to fix it?
A: Try these DirectSound tweaks.Using a DSP/Effect plug-in with the EQ may be overkill so try disablingeither one. People with lower end systems may want to close someapplications. Make sure you have the latest updates to the sounddrivers and DirectX for your system.
Q: Why is there no Equalizer item on the right click menu?
A: Some modern skins don't have an Equalizermenu item built in to the skin. That will usually occur with modernskins that have the EQ built in to the main player. It is up to theauthor to include one.
Q: Why does the EQ have a default or generic look?
A: If the skin author did not include an Equalizer skin Winamp will substitute one. It is up to the skin author to include all windows in skins. All skins at Winamp.com have fully skinned equalizers.
Q: The EQ window is gone, where is it?
A: Don't panic. Read this thread.
Q: Arrrr, I go to 'Presets > Load > Preset...' and there is nothing in the box. Help me!
A: Either the preset file is missing or has become corrupted. You can download default/original preset file here. While Winamp is not running, download the file directly to the Winamp folder or download it to another folder then move (or copy) the file to the WA folder.

Q: How can I get the EQ to work with LineIn or Microphone?
A: To do this you will need Jasper's LineIn plugin. Documentation is provided with the plug-in's ReadMe file or use the online docs. Some points about using the plug-in...

• Jasper's plug-in uses line:// (not Winamp's default linein://).
• To prevent echoes the Microphone and Line In should be muted in the Windows mixer.
• Because of the plug-in's nature there is a noticeable latency (delay) issue. The on line docs has some suggestions for reducing the delay.

Q: How can I get the EQ to reset/return to normal values for non auto preset files?
A: You need to configure or reconfigure a default preset.
MiscellaneousQ: Why is their X number of seconds before I hear the change?
A: That depends on how much time set in buffer of the current outputplug-in. X numbers of seconds in the buffer = X numbers seconds beforeyou hear the change.
Q: Is balance or cross-fade included with EQ presets?
A: No. Although some modern skins may have the balance and/or cross-fade controls in the EQ window they are not a function of the equalizer.
Q: Will the EQ normalize or auto level my songs/music?
A: Yes and no. The EQ is not specifically designed as normalizer,however if you have a small number of files to normalize and don't mindsome work the EQ can simulate a normalizer. Use auto presets in conjunction with the preamp slider. If you want to, add personal touch with the frequency sliders.
For further information on equalizing and/or auto gain read here.
Q: What are the various equalizer settings files?

How To Make Winamp Bigger

A: Winamp.q1 = presets file, Winamp.q2 = auto-presets file, *.eqf = individual preset file where * represents a file name
If you are interested with other changes/effects/enhancements with music there are plenty of DSP/Effect plug-ins to choose from.
