Theme

Winamp

A retro throwback to late-90s software. Dark backgrounds, neon green text, pixel-perfect Silkscreen font, and an orange accent that pops. It really whips the llama's... you know the rest.

Silkscreen

Google Fonts · monospace · 400 & 700 weights

A bitmap-style pixel font that evokes old-school interfaces. Silkscreen is used for both headings and body text in the Winamp theme. Best at smaller sizes where the pixel grid aligns.

Shadow Style

Winamp uses colored glow shadows instead of offset or blur shadows. The neon green and orange create a backlit CRT monitor effect.
