If I install Winamp through automated means (e.g. Using http://ninite.com/), it is automatically installed using the default 'boxy' skin. I can't work out how to interface with this skin as easily as the new 'Bento' skin. In addition, there doesn't seem to be an option to download the Bento skin, or change the skin from Default to Bento without uninstalling and reinstalling it again.
Is there a menu option or a downloadable skin that is the default Bento skin? Or do I have to re-install to get this 'new default' skin?

I have Winamp 5.6 installed and I can select the skin as follows:
Winamp (Related Post: Winamp Lyrics Plugin) recently celebrated it’s 10th anniversary by launching a special version of it’s music player. It was basically just some bug fixes and few xtra-added features (seemed more like they did not have any new feature to add, but were forced to launch something on the eve of the occasion). Winamp is a music player for Windows, macOS and Android, developed by Nullsoft with a feature-reduced freeware edition. The commercial 'Pro' version is also available. The main advantages of Winamp is its ease of use. In addition, it is skinnable, and extensible using plugins. “Big Bento” skin References.
On the Options menu, click Preferences...On the Winamp Preferences dialog box, in the tree at left, click SkinsIn the list of Installed skins, click Bento.
On my installation four installed skins are listed:
- Winamp Classic
- Winamp Modern
- Bento
- Big Bento
I use Big Bento myself. Clicking any of the skins immediately re-renders Winamp in that skin, there is no Apply button or such.
If it's not in the list of installed skins, perhaps I can send you the Bento skin from my system?
There is Bento Classified skin by Nullsoft. There is also cpro skin (the City Night color theme from Bento skin) if it suits you. If those don't meet your needs, I guess you'll have to reinstall Winamp.
