The VideoLAN Forums

Greetings,

I prefer the old style time toolbar.
Yet VLC's default installation has given me the time tool bar with blue highlight progression. This is distracting when viewing. Please give the preference instructions to give the old style time tool bar. Many of the individual interface customizations seem to be locked.

The goal is to have old style 1.11.1 plain vanilla interface on 2.02 build.

For now I have installed the old 1.11.1 on my media viewing machine which offers the 1.11.1 skin as an option. The newer 2.02 doesn't even show that old interface in preferences. I am anxious to experience improved code but prefer the old un-intrusive time toolbar.

You can do that in customize toolbar.

That was going to be my next question.

I fooled around with that and got the clocks working.

Can the progress slider be changed so that it isn't "tweeting" where it is all the time? The numeric bubble which appears whenever you touch the slider looks like a caption logo from twitter. In other words, how can the numeric bubble be turned off and a simple slider remain as it was before the improvements?

One other thing while I'm in question mode: normalization. What are the right settings for normalization to fix too loud and too quiet parts of audio (for those of us who view late at night and avoid disturbing others)? I have looked around and some settings were for Buffers and such. Can you explain a bit how to work that.
