Sorry to bother you guys, but I don't know anymore what to do ... since I got the 1.0.5 version my vlc looks like crap and it's really hard to use it now, I search about everywhere for an answer before posting here (yeah, here, and google, almost everywhere na ? )

So ... well ... have a look :



Thx for your time

Ekios.

Does removal of %appdata%\vlc folder help?

I tryied your propositin but saddly it have been without any effect

You use some short of unofficial Windows theme changer?

That's a negative too, it's on a windows XP, with the old style apperance (like Win2000/98/95/NT) for having less ressources used

If that is the case, I don't know what would cause it. QT4 should comply with Windows default settings and since there aren't any option in VLC to change it, I am clueless.

That's sadd, the interface is really hard to read

Does anything change if you choose English as VLC language?

I'll try that

I have the exact same problem, VLC is in english and dont know how fix this! is very very annoying.

Any help please?! Thanks in advance.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling many times... and nothing.

Well, bad news, the ONLY way I founded to resolve that issue is that I uninstalled it totally, and installed an older version, the 1.0.3 one

with uninstall it totally what exactly you mean?
Thanks!

Uninstall and erase the settings, it's a check box you can clik during the uninstall process. Nothing special Nano, just launch the uninstall shortcut in the VLC menu in the start system*** and during the uninstall it ask you what do you want to remove, you click everything and lets go.

I had to dig into some VLC download mirror to find an old version if you can't find it yourself just ask, and i'll sneak in again


*** (sorry i'm french I don't know right now how to translate that, it's 07h in the morning and I just woke up :p )

No problem at all, Im Chilean but understand very good

What about 1.0.4? because you say installed 1.0.3 did you try with 1.0.4 or cant found it?

Many thanks Ekios!

Haven't been able to found the 1.0.4 for windows xp at the time

PS : Chilean ? Aaaah ... this is the so rare moments where internet still amaze me a little bit, having a conversation in english between me the french and you the Chilean about something coming too from somewhere else ... for someone like me who had internet in 1992, it's still precious

Have a very nice day/evening, and just ask if you still need help

hahaha! Im not tried yet but just want to reply because I think just the same haha! xD

Im on internet since 94 and as you said, this kind of things still amaze me and make me happy, getting help from someone who speak another language and is in the other side of the world, far away... priceless, even mastercard cant buy this! xDDD

Regards and sorry for my poor tarzan english xD

You should unclick the "shadow under menu" option, in your display preferences.

Afficher une ombre sous les menus (option à dé-sélectionner)

Ah, interesting, i'll see this one day, because i'm not using this computer anymore :p

Hi,

I've got the same problem with fonts since I'm using VLC 1.0.5

Note that this problem occurs in the same way with google earth.
Could it be a QT configuration PB ?
This ugly font pb occurs only with these 2 softwares.
Does anybody have an answer ?

Prolly a QT4 font bug. In some cases if user changes Windows font settings, the QT4 will display "wrong" font.
