A new release of the popular Quinto Black CT skin for the good old Winamp player is available. Version 3.6 is the first release that comes with an installer that allows choosing the skin components. Besides the installer, it also includes a number of new features and fixes.
Winamp is one of the most popular media players available for Windows. It's also one of the oldest ones. From my personal experience, it is one of the most versatile and feature-rich media players, has an enormous variety of plugins and skins available and is stable enough for every day use.

Winamp is still loved by a huge number of users. Many people continue to create nice skins for this classic media player. One of them is PeterK, who is the author of the popular Quinto Black CT skin.
The skin may exceed your expectations with the visual customization it provides. It brings a variety of widgets, and a huge number of options you can tweak.
For instance, using its GUI you can customize the color of almost anything you see on the screen.
The skin supports two modes. The first one is 'Modern Skin', which includes a number of visual enhancements.
There is also Classic Skin mode:
You can switch between them in skin's configuration window.
There are plenty of other cool things to explore and try.
Quinto Black CT is definitely one of the best skins ever made for the classic Winamp player.
Quinto Black CT v3.6
Quinto Black CT v3.6 features the installer. The author has created it using NSIS, so now the user can select or deselect all the skin components that he would like to have on the desktop. Prior to this, the skin was loading the entire package during Winamp start: Main Player and 17 additional components. By installing only select components you can improve the player and the skin performance!
If you forgot to install a component, you always can double click the skin's exe file and run the installation once again. Other changes include:
