Greetings.
VLC has its priorities straight.
VLC plays ...
but
1) VLC skins do not do VLC justice»
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=65373
No hotkeys work when VLC is skinned ... Not even Ctrl-P ...
Skins for VLC as a video player are not important (to me) because I use Full Screen on my XP laptops.
It would make VLC even more awesome if VLC could be nicely skinned (like CoolPlayer) and
then also be an audio player. Some VLC skins will scroll the song title,
but that makes VLC CPU usage spike outrageously!
2) SMPlayer frontend for MPlayer has a "Disable Aspect Ratio" option.
I don't know of anything similar with VLC.
That is not important on my two 4:3 XP laptops,
but I know of no aspect ratio that will fill up my 1280x768 screen.
I wonder if/when VLC will become a CPU hog
instead of the lean, mean multimedia machine VLC is now ...
Best regards,
AEN
