I downloaded it from Passion-XMBC's addon repo, so it is in a directory skin.transparency.SVN instead of just skin.transparency
XBMC didn't recognize it as the same.

PatK Wrote:I wanted to ask if the Blue Box in the backdrop of the log-off buttons (and the drop down) and the Blue box in Video now playing 'player' might be modified to either a nice transparent licorice black as you have done in other areas, or eliminated altogether. Just a casual request... I like the highlight blue in most places, it's this dark plastic blue that cheapens it for me. A nice upscale would be a brushed metal look, with a drop of lighter chrome, but one thing at a time.

Even if the actual OSD & Mediaflags buttons/labels are looking great and I don't feel the "cheap" in it (they are fine to me) it could be worth a try to see what a brushed metal look would give, in an "Apple" style, but since we have to stick to transparency I wonder how it could be feasable to have transparent brushed metal

Henchmanc Wrote:I am testing XBMC at my job because I would like to convince them to put media centers in the Pediactric wings. But as the testing goes on, I am not allowed to connect the box to bypass the firewall so it can access the internet, thus, I cannot download the skin directly from the addons section. I find this skin to be the most interactive and best looking, and I would like to present it with it as the main skin. How can I get a copy as a zip file so I can install it manually. I tried downloading the SVN with TortoiseSVN then zipping all of the files it downloads, but when I try to install it through the addons menu-Install from zip. A message pops up that install failed. I am using XBMC 10.0 RC1 r35326

you can't install the svn version through the addon menu.
just put it in a skin.transparency folder in your addons directory
and xbmc will pick it up at startup.
Henkske Wrote:What is the best way to keep your skin settings? Now everytime i download a new SVN i have to manually adjust all the settings too my likings
gabbott Wrote:Hrm, it should keep all your settings, how are you updating?
Henkske Wrote:First i do svn checkout http://transparency-xbmc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ skin.transparency.
Then i manually have to copy the dir to /usr/share/xbmc/addons
xbmc@xbmc01:~$ cd .xbmc/addons/
xbmc@xbmc01:~/.xbmc/addons$ svn update http://transparency-xbmc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ skin.transparency
gabbott Wrote:dont checkout each time, do a svn update when you are updating, and it shouldnt go there, it should go in the addons in your home directory.
This is how I update:
Code:xbmc@xbmc01:~$ cd .xbmc/addons/
xbmc@xbmc01:~/.xbmc/addons$ svn update http://transparency-xbmc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ skin.transparency
