Well VLC media player is one the best media players out there. With its ability to play files of almost any type , VLC has become one of the most popular players around.If you dont have it , grab it right now from here because its free, open-source and awesome.
I’ve always liked VLC and use it often but one qualm I had with it was that it looked sorta ugly ( or should i say simple!) compared to other players ,though VLC has support for skins, the out-of-the-box/default settings way in which most in which most people use it, the interface they see is definitely not impressive. All along what i didn’t know was that VLC comes packaged with a kickass default skin which is disabled by default!(God knows Y).So most people are actually what most people are using is the native skinless interface of VLC(above).
To enable the ‘default’ skin of VLC:
- Go to Tools>Preferences( Or press Ctrl+P)
- A window appears,from it select the Interfaces Tab
- Under the Interface Type box , select Skins
- Browse to your VLC install folder , under it enter a folder called skins and select a file called default
- Save andClose
- Restart VLC to see your new kickass skin(below)
