Thanks for the link, but I have absolutely no desire to have the addon modify somebody's skin. I've done some custom mods to Confluence, and I would be royally pissed if some addon just started modifying my skin without my permission.
It is unfortunate that the default XBMC skin doesn't have support for Artist Slideshow, but I can respect the decision to keep the default skin relatively straight forward. The required mod is very simple once you know about it, so I'm going to look at options that will better educate the user about what needs to be done. Plus there are a number of skins that do support Artist Slideshow natively. So there are plenty of options that work well now that don't require the addon to try and modify the skin.
