This skin looks a lot like Windows Media Player 11. It's not exact, but it's a pretty good skin.




To install on Windows:

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





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




Easy stuff. Now you have a great looking media player.
