This winamp easter egg will cause your skin to change transparency level with each beat. It’s a cool little trick to show your friends.


Winamp is famous for their easter eggs. This one is probably the most useful one I have seen.

These keystrokes will cause the winamp skin to pulse in transparency with each beat. Here’s how you do it.

    1. Open winamp
    2. Select any modern skin
    3. Make sure you on the front of the skin (where the play, stop, etc buttons are)
    4. Hold down CTRL+ALT+Shift and type in nullsoft
    5. Play a music file and the changes should be obvious

Easy, huh? Holding down CTRL+ALT+Shift while typing in NULLSOFT will give you this little fun trick.

    Works for me 5.21 Pro with Modern Skin.

    Maybe previous poster was using classic as classic skins do _not_ have this trick as they don't support transparency.

    Sadly only the main window is effected not ML, PL etc.
