I'm not a big fan of Mac but the new vlc 2.0 for Mac looks seriously good. Both windows and ubuntu versions suck. So how can I/we make it look good ?

mac vlc

ubuntu vlc

unlike mac you can apply diffrent theme for vlc in linux and windows theme are available here

How to use these skins?

Skins do not work on Mac OS X! Put the downloaded VLT files in the following folder:

On Windows: the skins folder in the VLC installation directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\VLC\skins)
On Linux/Unix: ~/.local/share/vlc/skins2

Then open your VLC settings and change your interface from native to skins. You can choose your desired skin already there or change it when you are in the skins mode by rightclicking somewhere on the skin and going to Interface>Choose Skin. VLC needs to be restarted to change to skins mode.

That theme is available for mac only developers may create equallent skin for linux/windows versions of vlc – Tachyons Feb 26 '12 at 3:29
i do not think there are skins that would allow the same access and customization as the default appearance of vlc – cipricus May 13 '12 at 22:11
Yeah ,If you are interseted use pix maps from vlc for macs source code , and use it in your new theme – Tachyons May 14 '12 at 1:39
