The VideoLAN Forums

Hi all

Seems I had the same problem as some posts I read, where the skin wont stick...
Ver 092 on a XP box SP3.

Changed the radio button to skins, selected skin from browse button, save... Start VLC and it loads default.vlt skin.
Go back into settings and this appears in skin path: C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\\skins\default.vlt... [also check extra backslash]

So to get the Askin skin to work, I simply renamed default.vlt to xxx.vlt and renamed Askin.vlt to default.vlt and voila! it now works... Bit of a workaround, but with the desired result!

So please look into the skins part of the app...

Thanks

For me it worked under windows to put askin.vlt in the skins folder and then in the default skin rightclick > interface > open skin > askin.vlt
The next time you start VLC in skins mode askin will be loaded.
