Skins
All Elements in jOrgan can be styled visually. This enables you to create Consoles with your preferred look.
All groups of Styles are bundled as Skins and can be downloaded from our Sourceforge file releases. Extract the downloaded ZIP files into the same folder as the jOrgan installation.
Once you have done this you can choose the Skin for your virtual console. Each element which is positioned on this Console can then be styled with one of the available styles in this Skin.
Classic
The Classic Skin resembles a classical organ console which should look familiar to most classic organ players:
Theatre
If you're using jOrgan to model a theatre organ you should try out the Theatre Organ Skin. Many thanks to Bence Sörfõzõ for his help rendering the stop graphics.
Modern
The Modern Organ Skin is not finished yet but you're welcome to take a look at it:
Hammond
jOrgan's support for Hammond style organs is currently experimental only (each drawbar can be constructed with a Continuous Filter and a Stop element) but you can already skin you organ with the Hammond Skin:
Creating Skins
An editor is planned so that every user of jOrgan can easily create his own Skin. But even without a dedicated editor you should be able to get started:
A Skin is comprised of the element images (usually PNG files) and an XML file which defines the configuration of the Skin.
The easiest method is to start with an existing skin:
Unzip it into a new directory in the
Unzip it into a new directory in the
./skins subdirectory and modify the images and XML file for the changes you want to make. You don't have to re-zip the contents to use the new Skin in jOrgan.
Other users have already created their own Skins. Some of them are available for free download:
