Hi!
VLC uses GTK, you can play around with the settings using
lxappearance. But you might need to install gnome/gtk themes, too.
ok, wasn't sure if vlc was gtk; loaded up lxappearance but nothing of
clear (to me) relevance, experimenting so far hasn't helped. I
probably need to log out and in.
I'll look around in the gtk config files too.
flying blind. good tip though - gtk, thank you.
