Classic look - circa 0.8.6d
Posted: 19 Apr 2011 07:19
Hello everybody! So - I have questions and hopefully I'll be able to get things straightened out! ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
For years, I've been happily using VLC 0.8.6d (and it's been perfect) until some of my media doesn't like to be decoded at all (h.264 files) and VLC will crash. The only way around this is to update to a more recent version - but the look itself (interface) is bothersome and cumbersome. I'm VERY much hoping that there is a "skin" or way to have things adjusted so it simply looks, feels, and runs like the older version (i.e. no separate window for the video to play in, no GIANT menu bar with icons in the player controls, no subtitle popping up with the name of the file when first played, etc).
Any ideas?![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
