Introduction

I believe that convenient UX and beautiful UI make our life better, it is no less important than a good view from the window or a good terrier. We look at the screen of our computers a lot of the time, it's a big part of our lives. I want people to get aesthetic pleasure from UX and UI. And of course that HCG was easy intuitive logical and functional.


VeLoCity skin for VLC.

Features:

  • Built-in playlist.
  • Mini window Layout special for audio (files and internet radio).
  • Light appearance, but functionality.
  • Small and functionality fullscreen Layout.
  • Multiple color schemes (installed separately).
  • Comfortable time slider. It is works well when you miss it slightly.
  • Large spaces for dragging the window with a small overall interface size.

Unfortunately, there are limitations for VLC themes. And I'm not able to fix them. Some things I would like to add, but at the moment it is not possible:

  • Skins does not work on Mac OS.
  • You cannot drag window using the video zone.
  • You can not start and stop the video by clicking on the video zone.
  • You can not rewind the video by swiping through the video zone.
  • You can't drag window over the titles and text zones.
  • You cannot change the window size to the top or to the left.
  • You cannot change the window size to the right without making an additional border.

How to use these skins?

  1. Put the downloaded VLT files in the following folder:

    • On Windows: the skins folder in the VLC installation directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\skins)
    • On Linux/Unix: ~/.local/share/vlc/skins2
  2. Then open VLC Settings>Interface>Look and Feel. And choose "Use Custom skin".

    • You can choose skin already there in "Skin resource file"
    • Or change it in VLC. Rightclicking somewhere on the program window and going to Interface>Select Skin>.
  3. Enjoy It. And check my following works on twitter.com/dmtiir/ or github.com/dmtiir or dribbble.com/dmtiir
