VLC 3 looks "old"/"unstyled" after installation with snap.
Here is a screenshot
As you can see the buttons are kind of unstyled.

1It is Snap problem, it does not support theming. – N0rbert Feb 25 '18 at 15:06

@chili555 is that OK? I mean that it looks like an app from early 00s. – kozlone Feb 25 '18 at 15:07

@An0n the version is 3.0.0. – kozlone Feb 25 '18 at 15:08

1It is not OK. It is by Snap design. Have you installed it with `snap install vlc` or from GNOME/Ubuntu Software? Native looking apps are packaged as debs. It is [known bug](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1585332). What is the output of `snap list | grep vlc`? – N0rbert Feb 25 '18 at 15:09

@N0rbert just to make things clear: I'm not about vlc skins. Just for an instance, let's look at this pic https://www.tecmint.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/VLC-Player-About.jpg As you can see, the buttons looks much pretty. Is that what you meant? – kozlone Feb 25 '18 at 15:12

1@N0rbert I've used `snap install vlc`. Here is the output you requested: `vlc 3.0.0 158 videolan ` – kozlone Feb 25 '18 at 15:15
