A few years ago, I was suprised to discover that lots of people actually do hate VLC at this most wonderful time of year. Only two of the top 10 search results are broadly positive about this feature: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=vlc+santa+hat+&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=vlc+santa+hat+&ia=web
And in a VideoLAN forum thread, at least one user was willing to recompile the source in order to remove the objectionable icon (presumably before it became a configurable option in the application settings): https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=53998 https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=53998

- foobarian 2y agoIt's open source and we mold it to the way we like it! Right? One time I decided I would like my workstation login prompt to work like the Monty Python bridge of death and print "what is thy name" etc. instead of the usual login:. Tracking down where exactly this string was turned out to be really hard, I don't even remember exactly but somewhere in PAM source code? Anyway after that I became less quick to tell people "just change the source!"
