AVS output to playlist background
Hi,

I'm new to this forum, but Winamp is the only music player I use. Just got the new Winamp 5.02.
I was wondering if there's a chance to add a new feature to AVS so the visualisation output should be the background of the Playlist Editor .
...
To get the ideea of what I'm trying to say, I modified the alpha blending of the AVS window and placed it over the Playlist window, and made a printscreen:

If you set the Overlay color so it is the same as the BG color of the playlist, it should work, although everything of that color will be AVSed, and it will not shrink down to the size of the window. You COULD ask a skinner to do something like that, it certainly is possible with modern skins, but I doubt that they would have the time to do it.

Other than that, there is no real solution.

That'll work, don't know if it will look nice though.
