Description
This is ZDL GOLD STACK mk-II REEL-TO-REEL (special version of the original ZDL Gold Stack).Four components: player, equalizer, spectrum analyzer and tuner/amp (receiver).
Each component has two views: full and compact. To switch between full and compact view: double click ZDL-title or push down/up button.
Player Full View has three view-variations: CD-Player Deck with Reel-To-Reel Machine, CD-Player Deck with Cassette Deck and Cassette Deck only.
To switch between player's full view variations: push CD or Cassette Tray Button or the button, located in between the reels.
The Reel-To-Reel view also has two switchable Reels types (6 holes / 3 holes reels), to change reels push the REEL-button.
Analyzer has four Color options and two Screen Modes, use color and mode buttons to switch.
Other features: Big Knob (on reel-to-reel and tuner/amp) is Fine Step Volume adjustment (click left (-) or right (+) side of the knob), Hovered buttons, Analog Style VU-Meters, Real Time Digital Clock in Tuner/Amp Compact view, color themes.
SPECIAL NOTES:
1. The animation performance of the Reel-To-Reel action may vary depending on user's computer system power and settings. To optimize the performance you may want to try adjusting timers resolution while your winamp is playing an audio file (Go: Main Menue, Preferences, Skins, Modern Skins, General: there you'll see timers resolution slider. For Example, on my system I get the best result at 15ms setting.)
2. Tool Tips pop-up on mouse over buttons and components are there, but may be very slow to show up, especially while playing a file, also depending on computer's performance.
3. If any questions or comments, please contact the author from Contact Page at [link]

Hi ALL.
I just happen to log in. was not around for long time .
So I just wanted to leave a big THANK YOU note here for DD and for all the comments here.
*****
Couple of words on the subject of color of the skin.
Well, it ment to be like made of "gold", heh heh, I guess I was not very successful there. Also the look of it may vary depending on monitor, I'd imagine.
"GOLD" here also stands for "G-OLD", meaning "good old", because this skin was designed with user in mind, that one way or the other can relate to "so called golden era of Hi-Fi", so mostly for somewhat older generation.
But that's all depends, of course.
Now, the very original codding of the skin did not have any color-themes. I've added some color themeth later, but due to original design (graphical files and coding), I was limited in what I could achieve just by additing some code files without going through png files editing, which would mean almost like re-making the entire skin all over again.
The color themes that are provided may or may not be useful, but it does not hurt to try in case you may be unhappy with the original look.
Go to MainMenue/Options/Color Themes, and there you'll see some choices. Couple of themes ("light off in the room" and "light on in the room") are making the skin darker or brighter. Cheap Metal and Old Silver make it somewhat silverish-some, and there are some other "ugly" colors.
The problem is that all I could do was simply to adjust overall color of the skin and it does not really work well.
*********
Thanks again to all and best regards,
/Massive respects

Man I don't know.. tried it out but there's just all these small buttons everywhere.. No way i could remember what they all do. It looks great, it really does. I'll stick to the easier to use base skin tho. Grats @ DD

It is not bad, but I dont like at like the most of the reviewers. The reason is the color-set behind the skin. Its all brown in brown which makes it difficult to figure out the buttons.
Make the text on it easier to be seen and readable. Thatll help alot id say.

There's so much going on, and that can be really hard to pull off as it can look tacky or cluttered, but you did really well with this. It looks awesome!

ZDL has long been a favorite of mine and I see this new incarnation is not going to disappoint.
Looks really good on my notebook widescreen with BrightView.
Wold like to see my color selection based on various stereo receiver.
Like all black with white lettering like the old Sonys . Maybe someday.
Great work none the less.
Thanks
