Hi all
I experience a problem with VLC skins : when I follow guides in order to change the skin by Blissta, it alwys opens the Playlist window without changing the skin...
A way to fix this ?

An idea : the VLT file for Blissta is viewed as a ZIP file by nautilus (ubuntu - gnome) where other skins are viewed as GZ files...

Oh ! I fixed the problem myself. I uncompressed original VLT file and compressed it with tar. It worked.

Maybe you should replace the Blissta VLT file on the website ?

Thanks !
Great soft !

so you're using nautilus to download the blissta skin off the web? And the file downloaded as .zip instead of .vlt?

What exactly was the problem?

I used firefox to download the VLT file for Blissta as for the other files.
When I look at the file with Nautilus, there is a ZIP icon for the Blissta theme where there is a GZ icon for the other skins.

I couldn't use the Blissta theme until I change the compression from ZIP to TAR/GZ as I wrote in my first post.

Sorry for my poor english...

What VLC version were you using ?

yep... that's because the skin is compressed using zip instead of .tar.gz

The version : I don't know but I installed VLC yesterday from the distribution of the website.

Huh : that's what I say : it is a problem for the users of VLC with Ubuntu...

it's been fixed... the skin has been replaced in .tar.gz format (thanks to ipkiss)

so you can download it now without having to go thru the hassle of converting it
