Skins under Mac OS X

Postby fernyb » 27 Nov 2005 22:52

I am a Mac OS X users and I would like to use skins but I don't know how I read the docs but it doesn't seem to work or I am not doing this right.
It says launch vlc then press Ctrl-S but all I get is the save playlist dialog.

So How do I load a skins into VLC under Mac OS X ?
Thank you.

Skins aren't supported under OSX yet. This might get implemented in the future, but I can't promise anything.
In case you're a developer yourself, we are currently needing a good way how to use our current cocoa-GUI as a dialogue-provider for the skins.

Yes the dialogs provider is one thing, but it is quite independant of the skin engine itself, and for that you "just" have to fill in the blanks in the skeleton I wrote ;)
If someone with a good knowledge of low-level OSX programming can hear me, porting skins to another OS is a quite magical thing (really) so don't hesitate to contact us !

As an update to this old thread regarding using skins with the Macintosh version of VLC, please see this more recent thread here on the VideoLan forum:
