Your Winamp player should be personal. It should reflect your whims and tastes. You should own it. And one of the most basic ways to go about putting your own personal stamp on your player is by changing its color. Sure, the default color scheme for the media player is sleek and cool. But doesn't everyone have that? At a certain point, don't you just yearn for something totally and mind alteringly different? Well, changing it is super simple. And we'll show you how.

Step 1:

First, you wanna open your media player. Click on the "Options" tab at the top menu bar, and scroll down to the "Color Themes" selection, towards the bottom of the drop down menu. You'll see that the default one is checked, by "default." But that doesn't mean you can't choose something else.

Step 3:

If you're not satisfied with the themes offered automatically in the menu, you can browse some other ones online, directly in your media player, or by checking out the color theme thread online.

That's it. No closing and re-opening. No hassle. Just plain and simple. And you can do it as many times as the color on your mood ring changes, if you'd like. The color theme palette, though, will change depending on the skin that you have, so that's just something to keep in mind. But if you follow these basic steps, you'll never again have to worry about your media player not matching your shoes. And if that isn't a load off of your mind, we don't know what is.

One part genius. Three parts llama. And a sprinkling of corporate AOL. That's what Winamp is all about.
