The link you provided, what exactly do I do with it?

inside skin.night folder is there an addon.xml file?

This looks like an amazingly beautiful skin. I'm downloading it right now. This might be my replacement for Aeon 65.

Quick question: does this skin work on appleTV running the latest software?

Absolutely, well I personally cant attest to it since I don't have a ATV, but it runs pretty well on an XBOX so anything even a little more powerful than an XBOX should be fine....


- noreason4nothin - 2010-08-12

YES! thank you! This skin is supercool looking!


- avus m3 - 2010-08-12

Update...Aeon 65 dropped. This skin is great. I really love the logo wall view (can't remember name) for TV Shows! Poster Plus for movies is my preferred view now. I love the multiple backdrops. I was just researching to see how to make this happen...thanks!

Question: I use the backdrops (multiple in a folder) for the home menu and have a bunch copied into separate directories for music, movies, and tv. Is there any way to have xbmc just pull the backdrops from the media directories themselves instead of having to deal with multiple copies and such? Maybe scan for any jpg/png named fanart* or backdrop*?


- noreason4nothin - 2010-08-12

One more question: will it be available via the add on menu on xbmc?

Technically yes, reFocus does that but I'm a stickler for my fanarts and some movies I have - Fantastic Four, Lethal Weapon - I don't want to see there fanarts on the Home Screen. All the ones I use for Movies/TV are hand picked and look great. Plus thats the way all other skins do it so most of us have the same type of hand picked fanarts...

I'm going to go through the sections one by one till Sunday to 2x check things then submit on Sunday...


- noreason4nothin - 2010-08-12

Wow cool. As you can see i am really new to xbmc. Do you know how long it takes the xbmc team to verify your skin? Will it be online the same day Smile?

I assume a day unless I have an error with addon.xml or something. But really if you have it now you already got it...

Plus they don't want skins being constantly updated, it's not a repo for development. Though I do plan on always tweaking/improving the skin but I will only asked for XBMC to update maybe every month or two. If you want to follow every little change then use git or the other download links. Those will always be current.


- noreason4nothin - 2010-08-12

Can git be used on Apple TV? I actually even dont know yet how to use git with my mac mini Sad Do you have any easy manuals for ATV or Mac Users?

Hint hint Nudge nudge

Please don't submit to the REPO until you have made my View request.

Wink wink ;-)
