VLC demo concept of its Windows 8 app

The VLC developers published some concept shots of how their Windows 8 app is supposed to look like. With only 9 days to go, the VLC Windows 8 app project at Kickstarter still needs just under £10,000 in order to be given the greenlight. At present, 1,938 backers have pledged £30,163 for the creation of a VLC app for Windows 8.

Dear backers,

First of all, thanks a lot for the support over the last few days. Today, we crossed the threshold of 70 % of our fundraising goal and there are another 10 days to go. Thanks to more than 1,800 of you, it looks like we will be able to make it in time!

Today, we would like to share our first draft for the user interface on Windows 8 and RT with you.

It was created by Ashraful Sheikh, who is responsible for the current design of our website. You can find his portfolio on his site Made by Argon. While this isn't the final design, it shows the direction where we will be going. You can find the artwork at full resolution here and there.

We hope that you like it and we are looking forward to your feedback!

Jean-Baptiste & Felix for the VLC for Windows 8 team
