Hi, I've (unfortunately) wasted a lot of time trying to find any skins that really work with v0.9.9.
1. Incompatibility?
In particular, the current playing playlist item is usually not highlighted if a skin is applied, and right click on a playlist item is not available. In VLC default, these work. In many skins the '-' (delete) button in the playlist simply doesn't do anything.
That leaves the choice extremely limited.
2. A daily updated skin package?
This is curious, as the skin package is advertised as 'updated on a daily basis'. That implies these skins should work in general and are maintained.
3. Restrictive designs in many skins
Most skins I've tried are restrictive compared to the default. Indeed in a few there isn't even a volume control, and some fail to show the current title being played, and a couple show the whole path- or at least the start of it..
Perhaps that last is a comment about choices made in designing a skin.
4. In this version, are there really any usable winamp skins, or have I just been unlucky in not finding one that works? Yes, I've noted the distinction between 'Classic' and Skins 2.
I'd really appreciate advice, as I'm very surprised. I've used VLC for a long time, and this is my first serious attempt to find a skin for it.
Thanks, dal987
