Assuming you have Dharma RC2,

Settings->Appearence->Skin. Click on Skin name brings up a dialog. At bottom of dialog click "Get More". There are about 7 skins in the Addon Browser at the moment, Night is one of them...

Hi sorry I'm a real noob to this , I think the hack side was the easiest bit it's the settings playing me up ha ha ha, um dharma I haven't got a clue? Basically I'm running the standard skin when you start this up fresh, I'm on a 1st gen apple tv, which I have an ex hd hooked up and working, now I just want to change skin I looked at what you said and got lost basically doesn't match what I'm seeing, I will check again though, all I can choose is 2 by the looks of it the one with the car windscreens on the LCD and the one with the shark that's it, I want the night one as looks well plush...

Thanks for helping and being patient

Cheers

That was my guess, the new Dharma builds are way more user friendly for getting skins, scripts, plugins, etc..Just like any app store like Apple/Firefox/etc, find what you want and click download..

I dont own a ATV or Mac so best to ask in the MAC section on how to update your build...
