VLC media player Skin Editor
The VLC Skin Editor aims at giving designers an easy opportunity to create skins for the VLC Media Player. Until now skin designers had to have knowledge of the VLC Skins2 XML System to create their skins. Now they have an easy alternative: The WYSIWYG VLC Skin Editor.
For tutorials and help on the usage of the Skin Editor turn to the online help.
