K-Jofol skin plugin

[Wildrose-Wally]

Good evening,

Over the past while I have been involved with updating the port of the K-Jofol default skin for Winamp3 to make it compatible with Winamp 5. The resultrs are here:

http://www.fusionamp.com/Nullsoft_Skinz.htm#K-Jöfol_V5

During the process I have installed the K-Jofol program and also different K-Jofol skins for that program. Some of those skins are very good.

I was wondering if anybody would be up to the task to make a plugin so these K-Jofol skins could be used in Winamp 5.

You can find the program and a nice selection of its skins here:

Thank you very much for your attention.

can someone explain what/when/who/why K-jofol was? I appear to be too yound to remember it...

[Wildrose-Wally]

K-Jofol was an audio player, born in the late '90s, but development was stopped in 2000 when its creator went on to bigger and better things (Winamp).

The last release was the beta you can download from my webpage, link in signature.

It was a pioneer for the use of freeform skins, of which you can find a couple dozen of the best ones, also on the same webpage.

i hope this skin plugin happens. Some of those look tasty...

yes yes, this would indeed be lovely
Especially if the K-Jöfol vis could be emulated on Winamp5 aswell, so it wouldn't be replaced with the basic Winamp5 vis.
This would, however, pretty much require large chunks of the K-Jöfol app itself to be included in the plugin, or so I'm guessing...

was k-jofol an open source project? or more to the point, does anyone have the source to do use?

it wasn't open sourced and it's doubtful the code exists now (been a bit over 4 years since the 1.0 prebeta2 came out)

there was/is a xmms plugin for this and i have out of curiosity looked at the source code but i personally think that a new re-write would be better so such a plugin would be optimised from the start for a windows/winamp setup. but that's my view on things...

as long as its not going to be a horrible, reverse engineered hack...

considering this is a request for a winamp plugin, the word 'hack' is synonymous with them

Wow. I can run the freeform skins for this program on my old computer. Wally, i'm definitely making a skin for this program now. Is there anywhere I can submit it to once I finish or will it be for my own personal use only?

edit//DrO, can you tell me where you got the xmms plugin? I couldn't find it on xmms.org

[Wildrose-Wally]

If you include a main, playlist and a dock and winshade mode, I will publish it on www.k-jofol.com

[k_rock923]

I'll be taking you up on that and getting down to work on this just as soon as I finish the nostalgia contest skin
