[!IMPORTANT]
This is an unofficial fork. It is not made by, affiliated with, or endorsed by
VideoLAN. VLC, VLC media player and the cone logo are trademarks of VideoLAN;
for the official player, go to videolan.org. This build is based on the VLC 4.0
development branch, so please report problems here, not to
VideoLAN. As free software under the GPL, it uses these marks only as
VideoLAN's trademark policy allows: the app calls itself
VLC Media Player Redesign and never uses the name VideoLAN as its own.
Design by Juxtopposed
Interface designed by Juxtopposed.
Every screen of this interface was designed by Juxtopposed; this project only turns that design into working
software on top of VLC.
