I tried out the metropolis skin today and it just makes xbmc go black. I can hear the clicking that occurs when going through the menus and what not but I can't see anything to switch skins again, any help please?

Quote: <lookandfeel>
<enablerssfeeds>true</enablerssfeeds>
<font>Default</font>
<rssedit></rssedit>
<skin>skin.confluence</skin>
<skincolors>SKINDEFAULT</skincolors>
<skintheme>SKINDEFAULT</skintheme>
<skinzoom>0</skinzoom>
<soundskin>SKINDEFAULT</soundskin>
<startupwindow>10000</startupwindow>
</lookandfeel>
Change it to match the above.

Your downloaded addons, guisettings.xml, etc. are found in the $HOME/.xbmc/userdata/ folder on Linux systems

If not, then do ctrl+H so it shows your hidden files.(2012-05-09, 00:58)dnairb Wrote:(2012-05-08, 23:29)jonass21 Wrote: i don't know if it changes things because im on linux but i go to usr/share/xbmc/usrdata and there is no guisettings.xml file even when logged in as root

just when i think im getting the hang of linux.... I don't see .xbmc folder in my home directory, or my /root directory so I guess $home must be something different... could you help me to access it? I'm linux mint 11
