Remove “BETA” tags from new Winamp skin
The Winamp 5.5 beta ships with the snazzy-looking new Bento skin, which is somewhat spoiled by the “Winamp Bento v0.7” and “Winamp 5.5 BETA” text in the top-right and bottom-right corners. Fortunately, these can removed fairly easily.
In the skin folder (C:\Program Files\Winamp\Skins\Winamp Bento\xml), open player-normal.xml in a text editor and remove or edit the line beginning text id=”reporter” (line 78 in Beta Preview 1). This will allow you to edit or remove the “Winamp 5.5 BETA” text.
To do the same for the “Winamp Bento v0.7” text, open player-normal-group.xml and edit/remove the line beginning text id=”gen.infotxt”) (line 436).
Next time you load Winamp (or hit F5 if Winamp is already running), the text should be gone or replaced with your custom text.
This will probably invalidate any bug reports you give to Nullsoft, and obviously will not magically transform your beta copy into the final release version, but hey, it looks heaps better.

Firefox 2 Beta 2 now available
Mozilla has released the second beta version of Firefox 2. The usual warnings about beta software apply, but if you’re brave and would like a sneak peek of what’s to come, give it a spin.
If you’re not enamoured with the close buttons on every tab, or the tab bar scrolling feature, there are a couple of hidden about:config options that can be changed to disable the new features. See this Lifehacker comment for details.
Firefox 2 is slated for release in October of this year, with version 3 of the browser expected to appear at some point in 2007.

Opera 9 beta now available
I’m a diehard fan of Firefox, but I’m still interested in trying out the alternatives. Opera, once a commercial product, has been free since version 8.5, and the beta version of Opera 9 is now available for download. It promises the fastest, most secure browsing experience ever, and includes several new features including widgets (small Web applications, similar to Konfabulator, Windows Vista Sidebar and the Mac OS X Dock), a built-in BitTorrent client, customisable ad blocking and more. Compatibility-wise, I’ve had no problems viewing any of my usual sites, and it does seem fairly speedy. So far, my only complaint is that the interface isn’t as light as that of Firefox, but switching the skin to Windows Native has made things a little easier on the eyes.
You can download the beta from the Opera website.
