VLC Media Player does not update in the background. If it's updating, you'll know it when it happens. I was notified that a new version is available. The update was going on, but even before it was installed, I saw a nice little Santa-hat-on-the-orange-traffic-cone logo in the app. I was surprised.
Well, it is simple. This is an easter egg. The logo and even the custom icon that appears in the title bar if you notice comes prepackaged in the program. It is probably programmed to appear around Christmas. Stop panicking. VideoLAN people haven't hacked your computer or something.
It's just a nice way to wish Christmas to VLC using geeks. Smart idea, VideoLAN!
