That's correct. The Now Playing modes are special modes defined in the 
skin. For Joggler you'd eg. find it here:

https://github.com/ralph-irving/jivelite/blob/master/share/jive/applets/JogglerSkin/JogglerSkinApplet.lua#L116

That's where those modes are being registered by the skin. But how to go 
from there I don't know off the top of my head... you'd have to dig 
around the code to figure out where those values and modes are being 
used and iplemented.
