hi, I really don't get it...
I did everything you said:
-start vlc (I have the shortcut on the desktop) & reset the preferences - ok
-remove any argument to the shortcut you want to use (so only keep 'vlc.exe') -ok
-select the skinnable interface as the default interface (in the dropdown, not in the checkbox). - ok
-save&quit vlc - ok
-now i try to restart vlc with the same shortcut and this happen:
vlc starts now like 'vlc (skins)' - program show to me explorer's window and I have to choose\start the *.vlt file...so I choose the skin I've downloaded "Dalin_Media_Player.vlt" (I choose skin from vlc skins folder)...after that this window disappears and nothing happens next, the vlc doesn't started..!
...next, if I want to start vlc, I have to start it from "start menu" now... program starts fine (normally, not like 'vlc skins'), but in 'preferences' interface is still "default"...and it can't be changed because vlc doesn't remember changes I've saved..! ...I've noticed that the shortcut from "start menu" has this:
"--intf wx --wx-embed"...- if I remove
"--intf wx" or all and keep only 'vlc.exe' - program starts like "vlc (skins)"...and its works like I've written...
one more: in the 'preferences', where is "skin to use" I paste the path to the skin I want to use, right? for example:
"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\skins\Dalin_Media_Player.vlt"
