[vlc-devel] Re: Questions on skins

[Sooyoung Sung]

The following is what I get in the console when I click on 'switch
interface -> skins 2' on the menu. The file open dialog pops up, then if I
open a skin file (e.g. orange.vlt), everything goes away (the console went
away too, so I couldn't capture the error message).

Can you tell me what might be wrong?
