Winamp Minibrowser
The Minibrowser skin is similar to the Playlist skin in many aspects. Both skins are designed to be scaleable due to the fact that most web content doesn't fit into the default viewable area.

The file you will be working with is called mb.bmp. This file contains all the graphics you need to complete in order to skin the Minibrowser. The top two rows of graphics within mb.bmp allow you to create the titlebar of the Minibrowser. The first graphic on the page is the top left corner of the Minibrowser window. This is then followed by the graphic that generates the title of the window. NOTE: this graphic is centered within the window. We then come to the little graphic that is tiled across for every time the window is scaled horizontally. Finally we come to the graphic that completes the titlebar with the top right corner of the window with he close button in it's default state. The next row is all the same graphics, however, all the images are a little dimmed to demonstrate to the end user that the window is now inactive or the window that is not in focus.

The next row of graphics consist of the bottom left corner of the window, the left and right borders of the window for when it is scaled vertically, the close button when pressed, and the version of all the browser control buttons in the pushed in state. Make sure that the left bottom graphic has the browser control buttons in the not pressed or not clicked state. Also remember that the graphic for the browser controls pressed does not support transparencies, so if you wish to have the backgrounds of the Minibrowser match up with the buttons.The last row of graphics consist of the bottom-right graphic then followed by the horizontal scaling graphic for the bottom of the Minibrowser.
