It took me a minute to realize that every skin on the website can actually be fully used, it’s not just a zoomed in gif when you click on them!
Pro-tip: you can scale up classic winamp skins in audacious by making sure the player is selected, and pressing Ctrl+D, which make them much easier to see and use on modern displays.
It’s so awesome to see this one. The group’s website was something like Breedhive dot org, and it was incredible looking - in the same style as this skin, but I haven’t been able to find it on the archive. Considering how image heavy the website was, it probably wouldn’t have gotten archived properly anyway. The members had some great PS tutorials on DeviantArt back in its heyday. Last time I visited DA it looked like a shell of itself. I’m not sure they even have a meaningful tutorial section anymore.
Edit: breedart dot org, late 2001. I bothered to check the readme and it has the link. At least now I can look up some of the old members and maybe see if any are still active.
I was right about the images. A few of the orange, embryo things were button images that failed to get archived. Still happy to have found anything. It feels like it’s getting more rare to find stuff from between web 1.0, through the dotcom bubble bursting, to late web 2.0.
