I tried to get rid of the cone hat, borders and unchangable background color by diferent ways. Using some ResHackers utilits I only removed the cone hat and made background color black. But some white borders remained. It looked horrobly. Well, then I wrote an OCX (I was really afraid of changing original code of VLC - if it's free it means nothing!). My own OCX is the best solution for me. No borders, customable background color and picture, allow/disallow doublclick, hot keys and many other interesting things and the main one - it is absolutely safe for IDE - no automation errors, no memory read/write errors or crashes. And NO any hackers need! It will work with all next versions of VLC ActiveX correctly. I don't need to place VLC ActiveX on my forms, I even don't need to include VLC ActiveX in my projects! Only my OCX! It works for about 3 weeks on 17 computers (LAN) and there aren't problems. So I can share with you one trick: my OCX loads right to memory small app from its res. That app includes VLC ActiveX. My OCX sets hook on form with VLC and grabbs video-windows (2), places them into yourself and controls any videoplaing by controlling of the hooked VLC in hidden app. All VLC plagins attached to fake app, not to IDE!
