I’ve seen other people with this annoyance on the forums as well. I have a dual monitor setup and actually move the controller mid-way between the two monitors JUST to have it obscure less of the video. Would it be possible to add a Preferences – Interface slider for the full-screen controller scale? When you’re sitting right next to a monitor, there’s no need for it to obscure such a huge portion of the screen, and it’s really annoying even on 1920×1200 monitors. As a result, it obscures the video no matter where I place Felix: It’s now a bit taller and nearly 50% wider than the old controller bar. There is actually *one* thing I am really bothered by in VLC 2, and it’s really the *only* thing that I dislike it’s the fullscreen overlay-controller’s size. What more could you possibly want? If you want more, then just use the keyboard shortcuts. The design they’ve settled on for the fixed bar gives you everything most people need, like next/prev/fwd/rwnd/play/pause/stop, playlist, repeat, shuffle, seek-bar, time indicator, volume, equalizer, and fullscreen toggle. Would that work or is the sidebar an incompatible UI element type for that mean you want to be able to add/remove controller bar buttons, and re-order them, etc? Sure, that would be nice to have, but is it really needed? No, you can achieve everything with keyboard shortcuts. Thanks a lot for your response, and for considering such a sidebar visibility toggle. Note that you need to restart VLC after changing this setting!

Quite a few users asked for it, so here it is:

This update adds an additional way of customizing VLC for Mac: a decoration free video output window. We hope that you enjoy using VLC 2.0 as much as we do. So, where can I set that? Go to Preferences, which you can find in the VLC menu, select the “Interface” category and disable “Show video within the main window”: Once the playback stopped, it will resize again to show the controller only.įinally, well, can I see both the playlist and the video output at the same time like it used to be the case all the last 10 years ago? Of course you can:Īdditionally, as shown above, you can also hide the playlist while displaying the video in a separate window, so you’ll get the following appearance: Once you started video playback, the window will expand to make room for the video.

How to do that? just click on the playlist button while no video is playing. Starting with VLC 2.0.1, you can hide it, too:
However, it could be easily hidden in the past. Well, in fact, it was added to VLC 0.5.0 almost 9 years ago. Next, there are people who wondered about the “newly introduced playlist”. Please note that in rare occasions, the sidebar will be restored when restarting VLC 2.0.1. Once you started adding items to the playlist, it will look like this: The sidebar will remain hidden and all you get is this plain window: Just grab the devider between drop zone and sidebar. So, if you don’t want to use the newly introduced sidebar, you can easily get rid of it.
Let me start by showing the default view: However, it works exactly the same way if you prefer the dark style. For sakes of simplicity, I’ll demonstrate the gray, default appearance only. However, there are quite a few users, who want to customize the UI, which is easily possible.
