The VideoLAN Forums

I do not understand how to change my skin and keep it what I change it to. I don't know why this program can't be made more user friendly (it really is confusing-def not 'plug and play' by any means)! Can anyone explain how to keep the darn skin to what I set it too?

Thanks!

This is the topic of one of the sticky messages (you know, the ones that you are supposed to read before posting ) in this forum.

I did read them but I still don't understand. The instructions do not match up to the menus I have in my program. Obviously I'm not the only person having problems with this as there are post after post on these forums regarding this problem. I never had the problem when I was running XP. Now I'm running Vista and for the life of me I can't figure it out.

Try changing it through the start menu. While VLC is shut off go to Start -> All Programs -> VideoLAN -> Quick Settings -> Interface -> Set Main Interface to Skinnable. Once you open VLC it should start with the "Default" skin, if you want you can change this to another skin.

Ah wow, that worked! Thanks:)
