The VideoLAN Forums

I am having difficulty in figuring out how to make skins for vlc. I just don't know where to begin. But I have come up with an idea for a skin and wonder if it would be possible in vlc to make a skin that looked like this, or very similar.



this is just an outline of the final skin I have in mind, the GUI will be a little more graphical and come in multiple color schemes. any information that could be more direct about vlc skinning would be helpful.

You should read the skinning documentation, and have a look at existing skins (unzip the .vlt files, or un-tar.gz them).
Apart from the menus which are impossible to do like this, the rest seems doable.

thats kind of a bummer.

Would you prefer a designer ?

Just wanted to say that your skin concept looks nice. It's unique, but really neat. But it looks like it's built too much around videos. Might be a little too intrusive for just music.

BTW, it is possible to create menus like how you want. Take a look at the Airflow skin!
