Description: after i downloaded a skin pack for Vlc (vlc-skins in aur) i can't change skin going into preferences -> Interface -> Use custom theme... because when i click on the choose button nothing appears, and typing the theme full path in the textbox does nothing after a click on save, resulting in blank textbox reopening settings...


Additional info:
* package version(s)
vlc 2.0.0-3
vlc-skins 20101214-1

* config and/or log files etc.
None because vlc -vv shows nothing when clicking the choose button. Vlc conf cleared with vlc --reset-config --reset-plugins-cache

Steps to reproduce: open Vlc and follow the description until you can click the button to choose the skin.

you need vlc-skins2 from aur. that particular package works with vlc 1.x

I can confirm that version 2.0.0-5 works with skins now. Note some skins won't have controls in full screen, this is the way older skins are created. So you should sort skins by "last update date" and download the latest ones, they have controls in them for full screen.

Works now with Vlc 2.0.0-8, but only choosing the skin and restarting the player.
