how to use a new skin (Linux)?

[quetzal2003]

Hello,

I've download a new skin from here:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-skins.html

i've test it with the *.zip and the *.vlt - but i don't cant use it - how do it?

With STRG+C he do nothing and with "vlc --intf Myinterface" the don't work.
How can i use it?

Thanks

try uncompressing the file before use.

Then, use CTRL + S and select the corresponding "theme.xml"

use vlc.exe --intf skins

with the new 0.7.0 you can also switch to the skins interface using the Settings menu (Settings->Change interface->skins)

Then CTRL+S should work.

use vlc.exe --intf skins

ah sorry you said linux :)
vlc --intf skins

Thanks for your answer,
but STRG+S don't do anything and if i try "vlc --intf skins" and select with the GUI
Settings->Change interface->skins i got this message:

VideoLAN Client snapshot-20040103 Bond
[00000178] main interface error: no interface module matched "skins,none"
Segmentation fault

I've download the BSPlayer skin (as zip) unpacket under "/usr/local/share/vlc/skins" - and try this commands:
"vlc --intf skins"
"vlc --intf BSPlayer"

but nothing

the skins interface module is not present on your system

how did you install vlc ? did you compile it from sources ? If so you have to use the --enable-skins switch when invoking ./configure.

If you are using debian, apt-get install svlc should do the trick with the apt source line published on the website.

cool - Thanks!! that's it!

but i can only change to one skin. I've put the other skins at "/usr/local/share/vlc/skins" - but i can't use it.

Edit: ok, i get it: vlc --intf BSPlayer/theme.xml

[Anil]

what do you mean ? What happens when you hit "ctrl+s" and select another skin file ?

ok, now i'm understand
with svlc the STRG+S works!!
Thanks!!
