Maybe once it's out of beta.

There are a few skins for older versions of WA3 over at deviant. I say only a few, because of the 15 or so that there are, most of them are winamp2 skins.

"skinmaker" = "bad skins".

And even when it gets out of beta (I thought it was an alpha?), it's still the question if it will be that popular. Last time I checked, a WinAmp3 skin consisted of over 300 images!

it's a lot more complex than WA2 skinning, but the power and flexibility it offers over its predecessor is huge. Take a quick look at this http://bluemars.planet-d.net/wa3skintutorial/chap1.html to see what I mean.

Yes, AJ, but its skinning difficulty will be similar to WMP. And we know hardly anybody skins WMP because it's too "difficult". The skinning community consists mainly of artists, not programers, who even the letters HTML are enough to make them run out of the room in panic.
So, in short, although it will be so much more cool than Winamp2, Winamp3 probably will have not too many skins for it.
