Can I skin just one application without affecting the rest?

Need dark title and nav bars on VLC

from Stardock Forums

Finally got VLC to read my video files on (ugh) Windows 10. But the white title bar and bottom navigation bar are very distracting; I'd like them to be black with white text, like Windows Media Player or HP Media Whatever. What are the minimum steps I can take to achieve this?

Well, I believe it would be impossible. But the best chance you'd have would be to go into windowblinds config, and exclude every program you don't want skinned. Lots of work.

I also use VLC to play video files. For me the white top and bottom bars are only present when I don't have a video loaded and playing. Perhaps you need to have a look at your VLC preferences.

Thanks. I see there are alternate skins; I'll play around with those.

Don't worry about skins yet. Go into the Video settings and select Fullscreen.
