Hello all ..

I don't know how to install the skin in xbmc .. I have xbmc rev 31103 installed.

Where should I put the downloaded folder ?

Thanks

just read around, you're using new version after the addons merge.
plenty of subject are talking about it.
now you have to use the addon folder.

Yes that is where EVERYTHING goes now- skins, plugins, scripts...not in the appdata/roaming folder like before.

all I had to do is install the skin from a zip file in the addons menu. It will ask you where the zip file is and it does the rest. I didn't have to put into any folder I actually had the zip file in my downloads folder.

It's still in the AppData\Roaming\XBMC though, it just goes in the addons now instead of skins.

Huh, I remember awhile back I checked and the addons folder in Appdata was empty now it has some stuff but so does my C:\Program Files\XBMC\addons...

And my C:\Program Files\XBMC\addons is where Confluence and most of the stuff seems stored?

The addons in program files are what comes with XBMC just like before but all the user stuff is still in the appdata folder.

Hello,
After copying the skin to the addons folder and trying to install through addons manager under xbmc, I still can't select this skin.

I'm using windows seven x64.

Can you please help me?

Thanks

1. No skins beside Team-XBMC skins are in the addons manager yet...
2. THIS POST explains how to use git on windows

For merge/10.5 support you have to use the git link....
