WxWidgets is the default, plain, graphical, interface to VLC, made using the WxWidgets library (linux users may need to have this installed). It is used as the default interface on the Windows and Linux versions of VLC.


Unless you change the preferences, VLC will start up in the WxWidgets interface, but you can force this by running

vlc -I wx


If WxWidgets is not avaliable, it will probably revert to using the rc (console) interface, even if you force it. The most likely reason for this is if WxWidgets hasn't been installed, or if it wasn't linked in (using the ./configure). See compiling VLC for information on compiling.
