AWFUL WINAMP SKINS BUG

Added by Swag Master about 9 years ago

Hey guys. I've recently been adding winamp skins (classic ones, usually .wsz extension), and i noticed that most were not being loaded by audacious.
At first i thought it was a compatibility problem, but it turns out it would not load (some of) the skins which other audacious users had reported to be working.
I found out this:
just renaming the file "balance.bmp" (but could also be "Balance.bmp"), even to "bAlance.bmp" or "Balance.bmp" and then back to "balance.bmp"(for example if i want to restore original name), makes the theme start to work!!!

To sum it up: whenever i see a theme not working, i rename its balance.bmp file (by changing a letter to lowercase/uppercase) and it will start to work!!! I can even rename it back to the original name, and it will keep working nevertheless!

My specs:
Manjaro XFCE (Arch Linux base system) x64
Audacious and audacious-plugins (both flom testing branch of Manjaro (3.6.2-1), OR from AUR i also tried the very latest git version. same problem with skins occurred).

also, renaming the balance.bmp file of a working theme can result in the theme not working anymore...

well shit it's not just about renaming balance.bmp, but any file. sometimes audacious does not recognize the skin, and renaming ANY file makes the snkin recognizeable i guess...

Also, some skins at times are shown with big images in the menu (as it should be), and others with smaller ones. I don't get why. It appears that the trick of renaming one of the files can have effect on this behavious...

GOT IT!!!

Sorry guys, but somehow my archive manager or something must've been removing the Read permissions for the Others group.

SOLVED.
Though perhaps a warning should be implemented because i had NO idea what was going on..
