Hi,
i'm wanting to switch from a normal layout to another one including the playlist when clicking on the playlist button but i've not found how to deal with the layouts, how should I do to have 2 or more layouts in the same <window>, control wich one will show as default etc ..., i tried cloning the 1st layout but it's not working ?

Another thing, there's an issue when leaving the fullscreen mode i can't use the volume + or - and maybe other functions (i mapped it to the mouse wheel up or down), in order to get it working i've to switch to another window then return to vlc

Thanks

too bad i found it myself
there was some checkbox at the place of buttons :/ that's why it was not workin, is there a way to display the errors when there are ?

Ok I just found the message window, btw sometimes, i don't know why, the vlc window won't display anymore when using skins2 then i can do nothing exept closing vlc and deleting the vlc stuff from my "Documents and settings" to get the skins workin again

This is a known bug when designing a skin (it shouldn't happen anymore once the skin is finished): vlc tries to remember the size and position of the windows (in the skins-config configuration option), and gets lost when, for example, you add or remove windows in the skin.

There are several workarounds when the problem occurs:
- reset the preferences (by removing the file like you did, or using the shortcut in the start menu if you are on Windows, or using the wxWidgets interface)
- switch to a skin with a different name, using the Ctrl-S shortcut, then come back to your skin
