Thank you for making this Christmas memorable with your valuable suggestions and constant encouragement.

To make this successful you need to follow these basic three steps by the end of the third step you are going to get the santa hat for your vlc.

Step 1: Find the location of VLC icon in your File System


The basic procedure of this process is to find the location of the vlc media player icons present in the file system, and replace all of them with Christmas VLC media player icons so that you will get the same icon for ever.

To find the location of VLC Icons, first open the “Search for files” application from:

Places>> Search for files

After this just type VLC by selecting “File System” As Location.

Then you will see the Many files and Images related to VLC. Here Iam Giving the location of

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/vlc.png

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/vlc-christmas.png

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/vlc.png

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/vlc-christmas.xpm

Step 2: Replace VLC Icon with Christmas - VLC icon


As you can see in the picture, replace the Images with name of “vlc.png” with “vlc-christmas.png”. To do this you need to follow this procedure.

Many of file systems won’t support user access, for that you need to change the ownership of the folder which contain the images. To do this enter these commands in command line or Terminal.

bash-4.1$ su

Password: **************

[root@rkv USER NAME]# chown "USER NAME" /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/

  1. After entering “su” Command, it may prompt to ask for password, then provide it.
  2. I Have shown this password in the form of “***********”
  3. In third step replace the “USER NAME ” with your pc user name.


Step 3: Change Ownership of any folder


By using this procedure you can do lot of things that you may surprise your friends. By changing ownership of the any folder with the command listed above. You can also change the group of any folder with the following command.
