This is most likely Winamp's "always on top" function, which steals/tries to steal the focus of WA and can also cause distorted colours.

Disable it by pressing Ctrl+A when the main Window is selected and you should be able to run Winamp in the background without a problem.

Also, don't have Visualizations running either.
