_ _ _ _ _______MAJOR TOM_______ _ _ _ _
by Steve Moss
Version 2.0 REMIX - November 20, 1999
-UPDATE-
Congratulations! It's twins!
Major Tom now exists in two flavors, ORIGINAL & REMIX.
I like both, so rather than supplant the orignal I'm
making both available so that you may choose.
Anybody with Winamp 2.x may able to enjoy this, but
why not download Winamp 2.5 anyhow? It's free now.

-OVERVIEW-
MAJOR TOM is an homage to the US space program.
It's derived from NASA's Apollo-era control
consoles.
It features all windows and windowshade modes.
Sorry, but there are no cursors. If enough people
desire some, I'm sure I could be swayed to create a
set.

are original, and were created in Adobe Photoshop 5.

-REMIX-
Major Tom Remix is a 'people's choice' if you will.
Based on people's comments, I've rebuilt the titlebars
from the ground up, making them match the pre-existing
Playlist and Minibrowser windows.
Some suggested changes I've decided not to incorporate.
I did not want to compromise the general integrity of
the design. To be true to the vintage NASA technology
I'm paying tribute to, I cannot use symbols instead of
text on buttons, nor can I enlarge the text on said
buttons. Though their readability may suffer, that's
how it goes.
Trying to satisfy you guys while balancing my own
satisfaction with the finished product has been tough,
and the release of this edition of the skin has thus
been some time in coming. Thanks for being patient
(if you were anticipating this at all).
For those who would like the ORIGINAL version, please
e-mail me.

-GRATUITY-
Thanks are in order for DoorinD and his skin
"Illusion." It taught me a little trick which solved
an otherwise irreconcileable problem I was having
with the way things all fit together on this one.
Thanks should also go out to $teven. When he posted
his skin "Fessate," he left his Photoshop master in
the archive, and study of it taught me some other new
things. He's a master skinner, and has earner my
respect countless times.
Thanks also to everyone who downloaded and gave
feedback on my first skin, "Steel This Amp." You all
encouraged me to keep on skinning. Time will tell if
that was a good move on your part.
Thanks to all who've tried this skin and seen fit to
take the time to let me know you like something about
it. Personally I'm quite pleased with it and I'm glad
so many of you are, too.
Special thanks to everyone at Skinz.org who downloaded
early versions of this skin and gave me reassurance and
support. Your comments meant a great deal, and I'd be
a moron not to acknowledge it.
On a related note, I'd also like to thank the folks at
Skinz for their patience as this skin evolved.
