When compared with winamp, amaroK is much less space efficient. Its too bulky and you can't fit as much information in the same amount of pixels as you can with winamp. Part of this is because it uses the native KDE inface style, which isn't build to be able to list a lot of information in small spaces. I think amaroK should be 100% skinnable, not just able to theme the context menu, but be able to change the whole interface like winamp.

Won't happen, sry. We don't like skinning.
