Info 

Winamp skin inspired by Hewlett-Packard calculator HP49G. 

Description 

To design this Winamp skin I started with scanned images of my own handheld calculator and a big image from Hewlett-Packard. 

You will recognize keys, body and screenshots from this amazing :) calculator! The screenshots includes: menu labels, message box, choose box, input forms, status area, fonts and stack. 

Thanks to Eric Rechlin for his site WWW.HPCALC.ORG. 

The face in Main visualization window and in Playlist visualization window is a part of an hp49 greyscale image. Joe Horn has created this image from FRIDAY by Michael Whelan, which is used as book cover for FRIDAY by Robert A. Heinlein.

The Winamp skin HP48 SKIN FOR WINAMP by Buchan Milne set me on making an hp49 skin. 

The bitmap font in Main title display is about the same as the font Ft8_2:carre(6,8)pxl for hp49 by Jaime Fernando Meza Meza. 

The Easter eggs in Main are inspired by the simple animation WALK from HP48SX USER GUIDE. 

You may want to use the skin together with the HP49 WINAMP REMOTE CONTROLLER by Justin R Cutler. This is an hp49 program to control Winamp via a serial port. 

All Winamp segments: Main, Equalizer, Playlist, Windowshades, Minibrowser, AVS, cursors (and MikroAMP) are included.
