Do many apps have support for custom skins? I've never heard of any of them doing that, but it seems like it would be an awesome feature to be able to customize the UI.
If someone made a music player app that could use existing Winamp skins that would be really cool. If nothing else you've get a lot of nostalgia installs. Also, do sites like Spotify and Pandora have APIs that allow other apps to integrate with their service? If you could integrate the Winamp playlist with different streaming services you would have a cool and useful music player. I don't even buy apps, but I would probably pay a couple bucks for something like that.
By skin do you mean purely colors or also positioning of items? I have a really hard time imagining now that would work for iOS/Android apps in terms of implementation. Colors are easy because you just pull then from a styles file but you'd need a really good abstraction for custom views
Audacious is a great music player that has support for Winamp 2 skins. I use it all the time to stream online radio stations. It's so nice to use a music player thats not trying to be iTunes.
