ClipUp 101

Unobtrusive but useful

ClipUp: The small main window "clips" to the top of the screen, where it is both useful and unobtrusive. Pressing the "down" button reveals the Extended mode, which gives you more complete control over Winamp, such as an editable EQ spline graph. Also, all windows are skinned, including the Playlist, Media Library, and Preferences. Finally, the skin includes a LCD color customizer, which lets you change the color of the LCD to blue, orange, yellow, red, green, or a combination of the above by adjusting blending and lightness.Thanks to beta-testers Carl Kim and Max Bloch!Update 1.01: Fixed tooltips, Fixed playing bug (it wouldn't play a song before you opened the Playlist), and Fixed weird lines in Preferences and other windows.IF it's too small that it strains your eyes, just resize it!

Staff review

Main skin is the windowshade, the extended mode contains a few other goodies. Fully skinned, good work.

CANT READ SONG PLAYING - love the small size idea but whats the point "for me anyway" if the song name is so small ya need to go blind and squint and feel as if need magifier glasses to read it and lcd idea is nice but even trying all color combos and "lighter darker" could not find "a easy to read display" (for song name) a few make the big section very readable and look sharp so im uninstalling it and looking for others... - December 20, 2004 by Damien SatansSon

Simply Great - Great skin. The very first I ever downloaded for my Winamp, tried many other meanwhile, but still stick to this one. It is simple, clear, elegant, perfectly designed. Your best in my opinion. Thanks Andrew. - November 20, 2004 by ewa barbara

Too small for high res - I run 1280x1024, and can't read the song. Nice design, though - April 18, 2003 by Damon Toal-Rossi

Nice, but.... - The skin is very clean and funtional. I LOVE the LCD custom-colors, I wish more skins had that feature! You lose a star because I absolutely cannot stand to load a skin and get not one, not two, but THREE ad pop-ups (and my loaded playlist gets bumped as well by an ad, yuck). - December 27, 2002 by JZ Belle

Beautifully simple - Excellent work. The designer has a good eye for interface and ease of use. Clean overall and intuitive. What you use most often is what's up front and is unobtrusive on the desktop. Thanks, great skin! - December 19, 2002 by Mustafa Jones

Good functionality.. - Kinda small, but all over a good skin. You said that there was a way to change the LED? I couldnt find it. And as to the people who cant download it, dont tell us in the reviews, talk to Winamp about it. - December 16, 2002 by Erik Xxxxxxxx
