VLC Redesign's Home: Continue Watching, the library and the sidebar, in the dark theme

Interface designed by Juxtopposed

Every screen of this interface comes from Juxtopposed's VLC Redesign (Community) Figma file, licensed under CC BY 4.0. This project turns that design into working software: it was implemented in Qt/QML inside VLC 4, its icons were redrawn, and some layouts were adapted to VLC's features and to window sizes the design doesn't cover. Juxtopposed does not endorse this project.
