The VideoLAN Forums

Hi there
How do I use skins? I downloaded one, and unziped it, then loaded vlc:
vlc -I skins2

There was no change in the interface whatsover. Any ideas?
Thanks!

read the page http://www.videolan.org/vlc/skins.html

I did, but when I goto the preferences with CTRL+S, there is no place to select a skin..

Sounds like you compiled VLC without wxwindows/wxwidgets support, which provide the dialogs for the skins.
