Jake, Help me and I'll Help you...lol
I am getting ready to send a pack off to Winamp, but I dont know how to get a thumbnail to send in. It is asking for all that, and and image. I also have to have a .exe file, and I dont know if you can do that with WinZip evaluation version.

Can I? And can you help?

ok first of all i think i can help you with some of this......ok....for the thumbnail i assume you want a picture of one of your avs presets right? ok well if thats what you want then you will need to have a program like snagit that can take pictures of any on screen thing you are doing at that time....if thats not what you want then its much easier....all you have to do is make your own little picture with an art program......ok now for the actual thumbnail part.....it says on the winamp help page that you will need the thumbnail picture to be size (275X116 .JPG/.GIF) and also a larger picture size (275X464 .JPG/.GIF).....thats all i can help you with because i know nothing about the installer because i havent sent any plugins to winamp yet so maybe someone else can help youw ith that.....and if my advice didnt help you then sorry lol im pretty new to this stuff too.....oh yeah and i almost for got to change the size of the pictures you will need to open them in a image editor...well thats all really sorry i couldnt help with the exe thing but i think if you go to this link it might help somehttp://www.winamp.com/nsdn/winamp2x/...F3CDTN24GARCZA well thats about it....see ya

WOO HOO, you helped me a lot!

I already figured out how to take pics, but I had no idea about the size of the pics. Thanx for the dimensions in pixels;....that's why it didn't work!

The pack is out to WinAmp!

The preview pix won't look the greatest, but, I hope people like it!

Oh, the pack I released is only files I have posted here, with one other remix of my Awesome scope I haven't released here.

9 presets you've seen and one surprise. But, maybe you still want to download the pack when it's published ?

:)

thanks jake!
