I have a noob question about skins? How are they rendered to screen? Are they pure .xml files? Is the engine built into the XBMC application to render them? If so, could I build a pure .xml website and convert it the xbmc skin?

well they are specific custom xml and images. you can't just use any old web page xml you have to use the format and layout as specified in the online manual

Thanks for the quick response Jezz.
So your saying they are custom built for XBMC and images are stored in a format only XBMC understands? So I could never use a XML editor to build skins because some tags are custom to XBMC and it would not be able to see the finished product?
