I am still running Xonfluence on Kodi 18.7 version 4.01.0.

If you are getting a GUI version error, it means you are installing the wrong version of Xconfluence for the version of Kodi you have on your system.
To avoid other dependency errors, you could install those dependencies before you install the skin through the Kodi repository:

Dependencies for the skin are

-script.favourites
- service.skin.widgets
- service.library.data.provider
- script.randomandlastitems.

If you are successful at installing the skin, please restart Kodi.
Warning though, this skin needs some updates but sadly Helly seems to have dropped support.
I have moved on to another skin for Kodi version 19 even though Xconfluence still worked on it but had lost some funtionality.

Thank you for the helpful explanation! I ended up wiping my Kodi and did a new download of Helly’s zip, and this time it installed as expected, so I suspect there was one or more dependency missing or corrupted when I was using the original zip file. I restarted Kodi and was able to access backgrounds etc successfully.

Are you allowed to say (or PM me?) the skin you’re using now? I’ve been using Xonfluence for a few years, so I’m not familiar with any other skins except the basic skin that comes with Kodi installation.
