Not sure if this is a Windows-specific problem... if I copy a skin directory (under %APDATA%\Kodi\addons) and rename it, as suggested in the skin development intro, it will not show up in Kodi as a new skin that can be installed. I also tried changing the id in the new addons.xml file to something unique, thinking that may resolve any conflict, but still no joy.

Is this something you can no longer do under Krypton? Or does something else have to be changed to allow the new entry to appear?

You may need to 'enable' it in addons.

That did the trick! Took some finding though.

Hi guys, I joined just for this very problem.. and I can't seem to find this 'enable' option in addons. Can anyone give me more specific directions to it? I've gone to Settings > System Settings > Add-ons, but there is no such 'Enable' option, even when Expert mode is on.

you would need to go here:
Addon Browser > My Addons > Look and feel > Skin

instructions on how to find the Addon Browser:

Awesome! Thank you
