## 🎨 Design credits: Juxtopposed
The entire design of this app comes from **Juxtopposed**: the library, the player, the onboarding, the settings window, the menus and the audio/video panels.
- 📺 Video: **I Redesigned VLC After 25 Years** by Juxtopposed
- 🎨 Figma: **VLC Redesign (Community)**
This repository turns that design into a working app. All credit for the design goes to Juxtopposed. Go watch the video! 🙌
## ✨ Version 3
VLC Redesign 3 is rebuilt from the ground up with **Qt** and **libVLC**: it starts faster, uses far less memory and disk space, and plays everything VLC plays without converting. Every screen of v2.x is still there, and your settings, library, playlists, positions and bookmarks move over by themselves the first time you start it (after v2.2 or later has run once). The source is in `qt/`; v2.x (Electron) stays in `app/`.
