How to Change VLC media Player Skin

How to Change VLC media Player Skin

1.) Go to VLC media Player site to download skins

2.) Once skins are downloaded, Copy those skins to the below directory. You will see default.vlt file in the skin sub folder of VLC

For Windows:
C:\Program Files\Videolan\VLC\skins

For Linux:
~/.local/share/vlc/skins2

Note: path can vary, unless you change the name of the VLC folder name.

3.) Now Open VLC media player, Go to Tools option on the menu bar =>> Preference. In Preference Window, Select “Use Custom Skin” and Click on Save. You will need to restart VLC for the changes to take effect.

4.) Finally, we are seeing some different skin on VLC. This skin is not the same skin which you have downloaded from the website. It’s showing the default skin which comes with VLC.

Right Click on VLC player, Go to Interface >> Select Skin and choose skin which you would like to use, you will see all the downloaded skins show up on the list.

Now enjoy watching movie on VLC with new Skin.
