Can't access settings

[kneedeep]

I was trying out new skins when one I chose - don't ask what it was - opened with what looks like a window with no decoration. There are two lines of text with directory names, clicking on either (Right left and middle) does nothing.
Running vlc from the command prompt yields lots of errors.
I've been searching on how to change the skin from the CLI but no luck yet.
Any suggestions?
