So this is the best dark mode skin for VLC i can say for sure!!! To get maximized video/windows from the start: just open once any video...resize window to maximized manually...close vlc...double click any other video in explorer...now vlc opens with this skin again maximized...other old dark mode skins couldn't do that. they all openend vlc in a small window only and were not able to resize fully...thanks man for this perfect vlc skin!!!
I've been searching for this for years now. It's amazing how there's an endless number of skins, but not one that keeps the same UI but in black. I like the basic UI, all those skins make it way too complicated and bloated for no reason.
Does it have an option for some kind of *music player mode*, ie without a video screen? I can't seem to get it to reduce size beyond the initial opening size.
Looks good! But is it normal that the skin overwrites hotkeys ? Whenever i enable it everything changed and edits to shortcuts have no longer an effect. Unless I set them globally, but then the skin can no longer be used.
Nope, this is not a dark mode, it's a skin. An actual dark mode would preserve the interface as is other than the coloration. This removes all my customizations, and even the default layout, and leaves only a bare minimum number of controls that I can't even rearrange to suit my preferences.
you can download the .png file (with transparent background) and use it as it is. OR, you can download the .svg file and color it by Inkscape software.
I'm having an issue that when using this skink alt+F4 does not close the application. Second issue is that projectM visualizations do not work with this skin.
About ProjectM - github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm Never tried It. I used to play music in the background while doing other things but i always minimize VLC to taskbar when playing audio.
about to close VLC from keyboard: ( Ctrl+q ) is the default hotkeys to close VLC - you can set hotkeys to use only ( q button ) from keyboard to close VLC as i did here th-cam.com/video/SUMKzqCigvM/w-d-xo.html
there are limitations (by VLC team) of what can be included in the skin. so I add a button in my playlist to open the standard playlist and use it's functions.
@@michaelsk373 Let me explain that, What people call the "default theme or default skin" in fact it is "the software style" and can't be re-colored. If you open VLC preferences you will note two options, using the style as it is or using a skin as I made. so re-color "the software style" can be done only by VLC team.
When I click on 'Use custom skin' and restart in order to apply this skin then VLC just shuts down itself immediately.. Do you know how to solve this??
sorry for late response, you can reset VLC to default setting then you add your own settings. If it is OK to you, open Preferences and click Reset. hope this helps.
try to install the last version of VLC media player downloaded from the official website and move the skin to the destination folder in "c partition" as I did 2:15@@50lb
The most professional skin I tried - Good work - Thanks man for sharing it
Thanks, I'm happy you like it.

thank you so much for your words, i really appreciate it.
Great skin, thanks!
thanks, I'm happy you like it.
we need a native dark mode or at least a skin that looks exactly like the original native in black
I hope VLC team allow us to do that too
Exactly what I'm searching for
This is the best dark mode skin I found for VLC. Thank you so much!! :D
Perfect! Thank you!
Thank you! its great skin
I wish you just painted the default theme in black...

@@GentlyUsedFrog There is a night theme in the new Nightly version but it has different ui and it looks abysmal
I hope VLC team give us the ability to change their GUI someday.
I dont understand why its that hard to make
Not a bad skin but separated windows for everything is a bad thing. Also does not scale properly on high dpi monitors. Still appreciate the effort.
works and looks great thanks
Thanks a lot for your words.
Searched a long time for a good "dark mode" skin and finally found yours - well done mate! THX for your work and time!
thanks a lot. I appreciate your words. more color of this skin here: www.pling.com/c/2008712
how about the other stuff like subtitile and converting and so
I'm back from two hard months and the other stuff are in mind, just need time.
Think you, with all due respect.
Does it have an option for some kind of *music player mode*, ie without a video screen?
I can't seem to get it to reduce size beyond the initial opening size.
coming soon
that the nice one thank. and make me easy to use
Thanks a lot.
Looks good!

I never met this situation. is this happening for my skin only or for other skins too.
Nope, this is not a dark mode, it's a skin. An actual dark mode would preserve the interface as is other than the coloration. This removes all my customizations, and even the default layout, and leaves only a bare minimum number of controls that I can't even rearrange to suit my preferences.
there are a lot of updates have been made for the skin since I made this video, hope you try the last version of the skin
Do you know if there is any way to get audio waveform visualization for vlc?
you can right click VLC and from the menu choose (Audio/Visualizations/Spectrometer). I think waveform is not available in VLC. I need more search.
Nope. Not for me. Need embedded playlist and media library.
you can use the default playlist and the media library with the last version of the skin (vr 4.0)
Do you have to delete the file completely to go back to the original bright default skin?
1:55 in Preferences (at the Top) Choose """'"Use native style""""" Instead of """""Use custom skin"""""
where can we get your black and white icon for VLC?
Hi, I'm out now. i will upload the SVG file to "pling.com" and leave the link here in the comment soon.
