It takes any of the classic WinAmp skins, so I guess you have your pick :P I hate skins myself, but I use maXMMS (available on the xmms site). Their default skin is bad, and I think is going to be replaced. You might want to bump up the font sizes on the Preferences menu as well.

I'm not much of a graphical desktop person either. People just don't understand that a desktop is for placing windows on it, and not for placing a bunch of images and icons on the desktop (/me runs since I just insulted 99% of users--no offense meant). Heh, and why would I want transparent windows when the purpose of a window on a desktop is to look at it? I just don't understand! Gabe
