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 ?

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.

i was about to ask the same question on askubuntu. sadly this is no answer. the mac appearance is not a skin but a greatly improved default interface of vlc, while the win and linux skins that are praised here look like 1995 and lose most of the default features. i mean the default interface is far better then those skins. in mac you now have all the features and better looks. saying to people "go and create one yourself if you don't like what it's there" is not an answer, but it's a 'NO' answer. a 'YES' answer would be just providing the full-featured good-looking vlc skin. :))– user47206Nov 10, 2013 at 19:47
