cool xmms
 

hi, i'm a newbie. i have seen a lot of screenshots on the net, and found many have a relatively special xmms skin (not typical 1, some even in round shape).

i downloaded some similar cool skins from 1001winampskins, but they are all ended with .wal extensions, which i have no idea how to apply it to my xmms after i've uncompressed them....

any helps are appreciated...

Maybe is this skin ment for WA 3.
I haven't heard that xmms supports WA 3 skins.
Correct me if im wrong :)
Try to use skins that are ment for WA 2.x.

You can run WA3 in WINE if you wanted to. It doesnt need any native DLLs.

ah, thanks.... now i have to install wine first...

Although you can use winamp with wine, XMMS has better sound, and its open source, also, its skins are not bad at all, you should use the ones for k-jofo, they work with xmms too and are much cooler than wa3.

A google search, is always your best friend!

oh yes, it's about Kjofol! thanks sud_crow, now only i know about it.....

thanks alot

erm... do i need a plugin to use kjofol's skins?
i found this xmms-jkofol plugins but have no idea how to use it..
poor documentation, thou. i've installed it but can anyone kindly tell me how to use it to remotely control xmms, as stated in his docs? thx

pls help!

I have K Jofol's plugin's installed right from Mandrake installation. To use them, right click on xmms, go down to visualization, then visualtization plug-ins, choose j kofol, and check enable.

thanks

sorry i couldn post before, hope you got them working!
you wont regret, they are awasome!
