It took me about 5 minutes to find the Load from Zip File button. Add-Ons->My Add-ons then you have click on the ".." at the top of the My Add-ons list. Why is it so ridiculously hidden away? I know. Not your problem.
I installed your skin repo from the .zip file then the modified skin from your repo. (I did this on another system, also a Mac, so there is no possibility of any effect from my previous attempts of getting the skin mod directly from your GitHub repo.) Unfortunately it is not working. All I am seeing is the fanart image that shows even when AS is not installed or disabled. I turned on AS debug logging. Below is what I see. The music DB is on an NAS. The other computer where AS is working, except for the blending, is using the same music DB.
The standard Estuary skin and your modified skin, when AS is not working, show the fanart blended with the background in exactly the same way as I have been complaining about with the working AS installation on the other device. Here's a screen shot. Note the blue cast and the black bars oscuring the top and bottom.
