editing GUI - NOT skins

[nantonop]

Hi all,

This may be out of scope with the skins section and it actually might not be VLC specific but i already tried to developers mailing list with no luck:

I'm interested in adding custom functionality (sort of expanding) on the original VLC GUI which i'm developing under ubuntu linux.

I've tried the Glade wxwidgets builder but obviously VLC lacks the appropriate file to kickstart a project/workspace. I do have the option of editing the source direct under /modules/gui/wxwidgets but this should be a handful...

Is there any way edit the vlc interface through a builder?? any suggestions?

thanks
Nik

In short: Don't do it.

In long: what do you want to do / add ?
In fact we are going to use a totally new GUI based on Qt4, that will be released with 0.9.0 version of VLC. So if you have ideas that would improve the GUI, please post them here.

But mainly there is no special designer for VLC. Most of the things are done inside the code. For Qt, some parts are done using the Qt4 designer.
