VLC V3.0 Skin causing very slow loading and error

[rezpower]

I have been using eDark Vlc skin without any problem. I just downloaded the new VLC 3.0 and when I use this skin vlc takes a
long time to load. When opening vlc I see a transparent icon on my windows 10 taskbar for few seconds (as if program is not
responding) and only after some time VLC finally opens and then it work with no obvious problem. I want to know if there is
any known incompatibility with the old skins or if there is a way to fix this problem. There is also an error appearing in windows
error reporting tool that may help identify this problem:

All skins should work with vlc3.0 the way they used to work in previous version. I did notice that loading a skin may be a bit longer. That has to be investigated.

Thanks a lot for the reply. I am happy that a dev could see this. I guess all left to do is to wait for a fix now

I can also verify that skinning causes an initial loading slowdown. I can't say I'm getting an error but, running in skinned mode, with the default skin, the player loads in roughly a half second. Using other skins seems to increase that time by over a second. I am currently using the MinimalX skin found on deviantArt (because it's awesome).
