the default sking by aLtgLasS is pretty neat.. well done.

When i double click a file it loads in the skinless vlc how can you make it load in the skin version of vlc, without having to load a file manually in the skin vlc.

Cheers

You have to set the default interface to "Skinnable interface" in the preferences, and save. Be careful not to set it as "Extra interface" though.

thanks ipkiss, would never have figured that out without asking here and before i kept making the mistake of clicking skinnable in extra interface, and always crashed. perfect now.

Hmm i tryed this but the change simply doesnot safe. When i restart it default interface is back

Make a new shortcut with nothing after VLC.EXE or no options.

Then be sure your preferences are still correct and it should work. Don't forget to press "Save" and close the player when making changes to preferences. The new settings will take effect next time you open the player.

im using 0.8.5 - theres no option in "preferences" to select "Skinnable interface" - im confused...

i dont have that...

oh i know what i did wrong now, i clicked on the + symbol LOL! (n00b or what eh)
