would be much better if new files would be supported in the open window when having some winamp plugins installed

yep, I agree. I've already written to one of the worker bees and he said documentation is coming for how to use Winamp plugins. Hopefully the next version, will have configuration settings in the main window, or something like that. They are aware they have a long way to go. :confused:

There are a number of nice looking skins for available for Coolplayer, maybe it might make sense to use a different one as the default skin. Might attract more users if the first thing they see is an awesome looking player as opposed to the so-so looking one it's had for the longest time.

i do agree on the default skin to be changed, its true that skins are pretty much useless stuff, but most people will be temped to try a program if, for starters, it looks good, after all you dont know how good a program is until you actually try it, and to be honest the default look of CoolPlayer is a big turn off.
