MetroX for the VLC Media Player in 10 different colors
- for Windows
-----------
(28.12.2012) Release 1.0
...
(03.01.2017) Update 2.8.0 ~ changing + adding new colors // general improvements // removing Win 8 version
(18.02.2017) Update 2.9.0 ~ new background // more improvements // draggable menu titles
(26.03.2017) Update 2.9.1 ~ skin starts with title bar // couple of fixes
(30.03.2017) Update 2.9.2 ~ position bar fix (for very high resolutions)
(27.03.2018) Update 3.0.0 ~ some fixes // added button hits
-----------
Installation:
1. Extract the .vlt file to ...VideoLAN/VLC/skins ~ overwrite if needed
2. Delete previous versions of the skin
3. Start VLC => Preferences => Check to custom skin
4. Restart VLC (otherwise the fullscreen mode won't be visible)
-----------
Hint:
If you can't see the control buttons because the videos are bigger than the screen resultion this should help:
- Preferences -> Interface Settings -> Look & Feel
- Switch to "Use native style"
- Uncheck "Resize interface to video size"
- Switch back to "Use custom skin"
- Save and close.
Play a video smaller than your resolution - now all movies should be the same size
Hint 2:
Fullscreen buttons will only appear after a skin restart (by closing and starting vlc again)
-----------
Bugs:
If you can't grab the player because the skin appears at the wrong positon - try this version:

-make it possible to move the player by clicking in any area;
-Put the buttons [Minimize/Expand/close] in the upper right corner, in the "Hover" (hidden, that appears when you hover); You could put all the top bar, the "Windows 10 Themed" in this mode, in order to facilitate your work;
-enable move/relocate the songs already added to the playlist;
-and if possible, decrease the amount of seconds the directional button clicked skipped (right or left) on the keyboard.
• Thank you for creating this theme, and I'll be very grateful for the future changes. *Hugs!*
But i have issues with fullscreen on a 4k monitor, it doesn't fit the entire screen, to make it work I need to move vlc on my second screen (1080p) then to move it back to my main screen (4k).
Can you fix it ?
Here is a screenshot of the issue with a 4k movie :
Thanks
but whats seriously annoying is how much space in playlist is taken by 'useless' stuff and empty space (Playlist options button and huge space around dividing line)
Would be really cool to have just <- PLAYLIST + - and immediatelly playlist item rows after that ... or option to set it like that
this is I'm talking about
A few updates I would love to see are:
a) When I maximize (not full screen) it, the window hides my taskbar, please change it so the taskbar remains visible.
b) When I disable Windows styled title bar, I see an option to close VLC but no option to minimize it. Having that would be lovely.
c) I would love to be able to use it maximized (with task bar visible so I can cycle between show/hide taskbar by just going full screen) disabled title bar with option to close, resize or minimize either appearing in VLC control bar above my task bar or (the best) appear in top right corner when I hover my mouse over there (just like UWP apps behave in full screen mode)
It's simple, it's beautiful, and it allows you to choose a few settings while most others don't.
Looks AMAZING!!
edit: I got
I have try the tuto to fix the size of the video but it doesn't work.
can't resize by moving the top.
any help ?
Great job...
Personally I'd welcome a blue grey (#455a64) and dark cyan (#0f9196) additions #whishlist
thanks in advance
P.S. i really love your skins and i want to hold onto them.
thank you in advance
One bug, pressing Alt-F4 doesn't close my VLC window. Please fix.
~Yes! It works!
Otherwise it's half off my screen and I can't access an controls.
Using Windows Keys + Arrows to snap to different sides of the screen doesn't work either.
Right now i have no quick solution to drag it up because as you say the Windows Keys don't work for costum vlc skins :/
How can I open the file to translate the menu?
Use WinRar to extract the files otherwise you can get some errors, just like in your case.
The texts are saved as image files which you can edit with programs like PS.
Cheers!
Therefore it can not be fixed. Sorry
Edit: Nevermind I figured it out
JK I'll tell you how I did it. If you can manage to get the Side settings menu open, switch it to cinema mode and you can drag any edge allowing you to reposition the window.
