hi.
im using a skin that i like.
but how do i do so it loads directly when i open vlc??

you can change that in the prefs (last skin ... or something like that)

same deal.. more detail.. pictures..

-from the archive

The last skin used is automatically saved, you never have to do that manually. However you must launch vlc with the skins2 interface (vlc -I skins2) and not the wxwidgets interface (vlc -I wx). And if you don't specify an interface on the command line, the one saved in the preferences will be used.

i dont start vlc first. i dubbel click on a file in explorer.....
it works with mp3 but not with mpg files

the link fell off, from the post above:

it mentions the issue of customizing the file associations. Further on that topic is here

i have tried all that ..
but still.....
when i dubble click on a movie file in explorer the default skin loads.
when i dubble click on an audio file the skin i want starts.

??? stupid program or what.....

haha, well if we start calling things stupid, then the vlc program will be about the last thing called that.

in mentioning the issue of customizing the file associations.. -Further on that topic is here:
