VLC Newbie here. I love this media player, but I can't get the skin I made in VLC Skin Editor to load. The default skin works fine, as does the skin I downloaded from the VLC site, but when I choose my own skin the media player just crashes upon launch. Maybe my custom skin VLT file is in the wrong folder, but it's in the same ones as the skins that work (VLC->skins).

FYI-- I'm running 0.9.4, in Windows XP, and it's only being used for audio (no video, etc.) Tried increasing the verbosity, as I saw recommended in a thread, but no luck. Any ideas?

Don't use transparent PNG files. They crash 0.9.4, this issue should be fixed in next release.

Yes, libpng bug that was fixed upstream.

So... what does that mean? What should I do (or not do)?
