Skins work fine for gmplayer-bin. Put your skin in ~/.mplayer/skins, just like for mplayer. The browser will find them, and they will work correctly. You shouldn't be installing skins system-wide, anyway, in general. I did find that, if I installed the skin in /opt/mplayer-bin/share/Skins, I could use the skin with the -skin command line option, but they didn't show up in the browser. The solution is to install them in your homedir.

The ebuild install the skins in /usr/share/mplayer/Skin and works well with gmplayer(mplayer 64bits). I was copy the directory /usr/share/mplayer/Skin to /opt/mplayer-bin/share/Skin/. I need it, becouse i cannot use the program's main skin directory and I have to save the skins in each user home directory. And for me is not a solution use the commands because the problem is not the mplayer, the problem is the gui, gmplayer-bin. It cant load the skins in default Skin browser. If i will update de mplayer-skins i only copy one directory to other. But if i use all home users, i copy the directory to X directorys(x=number of users). If the size of directory are 30mb, i copy the same in x directorys. But i dont have this problem with gmplayer 64bits version.
mplayer-skins won't work with mplayer-bin. Maybe at some future point, I'll fix it, but for now, there's no way. If you really want it to work, you can probably symlink ~/.mplayer/skins to /usr/share/mplayer/Skin
