Every attempt to install it (or stick with the previous non-broken version from the repos) results in the Confluence skin taking over instead. :/bornagainpengui,
Also about the 720 version that is being worked on--what does this mean for those of us with SDTVs?

Passion repo form of the skin is 1/ Broken for the moment and 2/ Out of date for the moment anyway. Install from the zip file as listed in the first post of this thread. Passion repo will probably come back online when I have sorted the move to 720p.
As to the move to 720p affecting SD users of the skin. You SHOULD see no real difference (layouts may change a little) as XBMC translates the screen layouts to the required resolution on the fly. What it means to me is that I code things once so that there are only one set of bugs not two. Also any changes to XBMC that break my skin will also break just about every other skin. Witness the change of case of the PAL and PAL16x9 directories that broken my skin (and the Passion repo form of my skin as a result). My skin is the last one that is coded for SD and not HD as is every other skin. Will also mean I can 'borrow' other peoples code from their skin without messing around so much. New features should come to the skin quicker as a result.
In short should be all good, with no downsides.

BTW, to the people that are having issues with scripts and plugins on home menu (XBox mainly, but I have found a related issue on Eden build). I will fix this issue, but as I am part way thru moving to 720p, will code fix in 720p only (I'm not going to code the fix up twice and run the risk of having two different sets of bugs again). Remember Team xTV-SAF is a team of one, and the team is pretty busy supporting the skin versions we have at the moment.
