Will we ever use 3.06 on XBMC 10.0?

S@

I've got the 3.06 skin working by installing it manually but it probably has some bugs.

Ubuntu 10.10:
I downloaded the skin and extracted it.

After extracting you get the folder named "Rapier".
Rename the folder to skin.rapier (lowercase) and copy it to the skin folder "~/.xbmc/addons/"
for other operating systems check the wiki "Installing Skins" replace the directory name "skin" with "addons".

After you copied the folder to it's location change the file inside from "skin.xml' to "addon.xml"

Open the addon.xml with a text editor and replace the text with the following:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<addon
  id="skin.rapier"
  version="3.06"
  name="Rapier"
  provider-name="Developed by Scarfa">
  <requires>
  </requires>
  <extension
    point="xbmc.gui.skin"
    defaultresolution="720p"
    defaultresolutionwide="720p"
    defaultthemename="textures.xbt"
    effectslowdown="0.75"
    debugging="false"/>
<extension
    point="xbmc.gui.skin"
    defaultresolution="720p"
    defaultresolutionwide="720p"
    defaultthemename="Textures.xbt"
    effectslowdown="1.0"
    debugging="false"/>
  <extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata">

It's not pretty but at least i'm able to use this great skin again.
