For LibreELEC it´s way more complicated
.
LibreELEC stores the standard skin under
/usr/share/kodi/addons/skin.estuary. As LibreELEC is a read only system, you don´t have the permission to edit any files in that path. But you are able to copy them to:
/storage/.kodi/addons/
So my recommendation in that case would be:
- copy the complete "skin.estuary" folder to:
/storage/.kodi/addons/ recursively and save it under another skin folder. For example: skin.estuary-silver1-mod
- go to the specific folder:
cd /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary-silver1-mod/
- edit the addon.xml file and change that line:
<addon id="skin.estuary" version="2.0.22" name="Estuary" provider-name="phil65, Ichabod Fletchman">
to:
<addon id="skin.estuary-silver1-mod" version="2.0.22" name="Estuary-silver1-mod" provider-name="phil65, Ichabod Fletchman">
- then do the same changes like mentioned above. But be aware to do those changes always in the
/storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary-silver1-mod/ and its specific subfolders.
When all the changes are done simply go to:
addons -> my addons -> look and feel -> skins. The "Estuary-silver1-mod"-skin should be listed there but it should be disabled. So you need to enable and use it.
In general all the above is not modifying an existing skin. It´s copying a skin, do changes and use it as a completely seperated skin. That, ofc, has it pros and cons. Pro is, that an Estuary update will not destroy your changes. Con is, if Estuary receives a bugfix, you won´t benefit from that beside you are copying the changes to your skin as well.
Thanks!
