Abstract

A nice looking, intuitive, effect-oriented OpenGL interface for the VLC Media Player. It should combine the utility of the current Qt interface with the graphics of media centers. OpenGL will be used for all rendering operations for the interface, bringing a wide range of possibilities to develop pretty graphics. All the user interface elements will be specialized according to the needs of the VLC interface.
