What is a VLT file

VLT files mostly belong to VLC media player. The majority of VLT files are used by VLC media player as skin customization files. These files are internally formatted with GZIP compression so that all skin elements – layouts, icons, and configuration data – are packaged together. When loaded in VLC, they change the look of the player’s interface. You can view and edit these skins using VLC and a decompression tool (such as 7-Zip).
Some VLT files serve as game data files for titles like Ticket to Ride and Toontown Rewritten. In this role, the file holds game-specific information that the game uses during play. More details on VLC skins can be found at VideoLAN and on game data at Days of Wonder.

Use VLC to preview skin changes.

Decompress the file with a GZIP tool to access its components.
