Step 4:
Right click anywhere on the Winamp Window.
Go to 'Options >> Color Themes >> Grapes'
Go to 'Options >> Always on top' (This will make it so if you click out it will still be on top but you can control other windows.)
Step 5: Optional
Move Winamp window to where you would like.
Re-size the length to your personal liking.
Right click anywhere on the Winamp Window.
'Window Settings >> Opacity' (This will make is so you can see through the Winamp Window.)
'Window Settings >> Docked Toolbar >> "Bottom" or "Top" ' (This will keep the window from blocking any messages and the top or bottom of the an open window.
* = Images has been scaled to fit screen.
This layout comes in handy because it matches the VF colors and it's always on top so you can see what songs are playing! And have easy access to the buttons.
Try it out! Let me know what you think!
