Hi, since recently the volume control in VLC is partially obscured. I found this post http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=33384&p=103267&hilit=volume+control+hidden#p103267 which reckons it's because it is linked against wxwidget 2.8. Sorry it's a ubuntu forum not freebsd so not sure if it still applies. Cheers Chris
