That does look far better. I am used to it being like this and it was a pain.
However, if it is good, I retract all my previous negative statements.

Re: VLC 1.0 Released
I will be honest, there are some nice improvements over previous versions I have used. As for skin, if it is easy to do, I might skin one myself to get it just right.
A couple of flaws -
It can't tell that ten is ten, hundred is hundred, etc. (For instance, I loaded a folder of mine up and the first three it played was 1, 10, 100 then 2, etc)
Lack of Library means I have to trawl through my folder system opposed to having them all laid out in front of me.
Some others are closer to pet pevs, etc.

Re: VLC 1.0 Released
Ars Technica gives VLC a little write-up.
The program offers support for playing practically every kind of video content in existence and has an exhaustive feature set that includes many advanced capabilities. [...] VLC can be used for everything from serving up streaming video across your network to reencoding video files. It's a remarkably powerful tool with a long history of delivering value to users. The new version is available for download from the project's website, and we salute the developers for finally hitting the 1.0 milestone.

I tried playing an .avi file today and VLC failed to play it only giving sound, whilst Windows Media Player played it fine, weird.

Re: VLC 1.0 Released
I only use it when I have to.
VLC always seemed to be prioritizing "functionality" before "quality". And as long as I have that swiss army knife called K-Lite Codec Pack installed cleanly, my PC rarely fails to play files properly. Therefore quality-focused programs such as BSPlayer comes first for me.
I'd be willing to be convinced that VLC is a quality player though.
Re: VLC 1.0 Released
ok finally installed v1.0, and i dont like it. sure, quality is better, but the controls are kinda messed up (no equalizer settings, like the headphone setting, that makes a huge difference). plus sometimes it gets stuck, which is really annoying.
i wish i could go back to v0.8, which is what i was used to.
