scarecrow is correct, cut & paste your created skins2 folder to /home/<username>/.config/vlc.

 

To apply your skin do the following. In vlc: Go to Settings--> Preferences make sure Advanced options to the bottom right is selected. Now open up Interface--> Main interfaces. Click on Skins and make sure the name of the skin you require is listed in the Skin to use box now click on Main interfaces at the Interface module box click the drop down arrow and select Skinnable Interface.

 

Click Save, restart VLC and it should now be using your selected skin.

 

The /usr/share/vlc/skins2 directory already exists try:

cp /home/my user name/Desktop/skins2/* /usr/share/vlc/skins2

as root instead.

Thanks a lot to all and sorry but none of those solutions work.

 

When I try your code in the terminal this is what it returns:

 

[root@localhost yo]# cp /home/yo/skins2/* /usr/share/vlc/skins2

cp: target «/usr/share/vlc/skins2» is not a directory

 

It says it is not a directory. The folder skins2 is within my user folder (named yo). It is corret I believe.

 

Concerning the instructions from the Preferences Menu of VLC. When I get to MAIN INTERFACES there is not such an option named SKINS and no list anywhere. I entered Advanced Options mode before. I am using the latest version I believe as I got it from the URPMI engine. It is version 0.9.6, in case it is different from yours.

 

You can see here that I managed to copy the skins (which I can not delete now...) but the folder skins2 doesn't exist. By the way... how can I delete them? I opened that Nautilus window from the Terminal by typing Nautilus after SU.

Amazing the complication to change a skin in this program.

 

Thanks again.

I have the same version as you. I didn't realise they had changed the look of the config menu :blink: It's easier to apply your skin(s) now. You'll find what you need under Interface.

 

Well, it may be easier but still doesn't work.

 

Most of all I want to know how to paste as root in Nautilus. Does anyone know?

 

Thanks!

See where your files VLC, they should be available for each mplayer and have chmod 755 Maybe this will help you a hint.
