# PM123's Skin Utility (WinAmp Skins)

PM123 comes with a skin utility (`SKINUTIL.EXE`), which can converts WinAmp skins to PM123 skins. Here's an example how to convert a WinAmp skin (`SKIN.ZIP`):

            [c:\pm123] md skin
            [c:\pm123] cd skin
            [c:\pm123\skin] unzip -j c:\files\skin.zip
            Archive: c:/files/skin.zip
              inflating: Viscolor.txt
              inflating: Position.bmp
              inflating: Main.BMP
              inflating: Text.BMP
              inflating: option.bmp
              inflating: Cbuttons.bmp
              inflating: Titlebar.BMP
              inflating: Monoster.bmp
              inflating: Posbar.bmp
              inflating: Shufrep.bmp
              inflating: Volume.BMP
              inflating: Numbers.BMP
              inflating: Playpaus.bmp
            [c:\pm123\skin] cd ..
            [c:\pm123] skinutil convert skin

There you go. You can now load `skin.skn` from PM123. The skin utility also created files `skin.pak` and `skin.dat` that are required if you use the skin. You can also bundle your old skins with lots of small files into two files. Run `skinutil.exe` without any parameters to see help.
