You will first need to download the skin named WMP11 . This skin looks a lot like Windows Media Player 11. It’s not exact, but it’s a pretty good skin.Now to install on Windows follow this steps :-

1. Select the “VLC media player (skins)” option from the Start menu program group. This will start VLC in the right mode to select skins.

2. Right click on the title bar area, and choose Select skin \ Open skin and choose the skin file that you have downloaded.

Thats it. Now you can see your VLC player looking like WMP11.

If you are using Ubuntu Linux than theres different process. To install on Ubuntu Linux:

1. Hit Alt+F2 to bring up the run dialog.

2. Type in this: vlc -I skins2
This will bring up the player in the right mode to let you install new skins.

3. Right click on the title bar area and choose Select Skin \ Open Skin, and choose the skin file that you have downloaded.

You are done.
