hmm wow ubuntu too! thats hillarious, i just came on here to find out if i was seeing things, i was watching transformers in Win 7, took a second to pause it and looked at the window and saw a santa hat! lol

[Jase]

I am guessing it does not show for other OS X users?

[Premgenius]

Getting it here as :)

I just noticed it before checking the forums. Awesome little feature.

I saw the icon in my system tray and thought it was spyware. lol

Changed in Windows 7 6956 too. When I saw it on the taskbar, I thought it was another bug, but then I noticed that the red thingy was a Christmas hat.

Hilarious, cuz that is also how I first noticed it as well. It sometimes is a little scary how close some of us pay such close attention to these little things and then the alarms go off in our heads screaming "oh no...spyware? virus? wtf is this?" lol

Help -> About (ctrl+F1) a nice big one :D

[Pheee]

Did not change on MAC OS, I have latest version downloaded last night.

[Calum Veteran]

Haha that is fantastic! :p

I'll have to remember that! ;) Shame it didn't change in the start menu or I might have noticed it :D lol.

[Argote]

Yeah, I noticed it earlier while watching some videos. I'll have to say that it looks a bit tacky IMHO.

[.KICK]

Yeah, didn't it have it last year as well? Noticed it a few days ago, I like it (Y):)

Instead of trying to be cute, maybe they should invest the resources to fix their goddamned program.

My system has frozen solid at least 5 times in the last two weeks while playing DVDs with VLC--the same DVDs play absolutely flawlessly with PowerDVD.

I've been a big believer in VLC for years, since everything (used to) "just work", but now I'm getting seriously fed up. None of the last couple of releases show any sign of improvement. Shoulda kept the older installers.

I saw it the other day, I was like WTF is that icon? Then looked closer and realized it was the little VLC cone!
