Backing up guisettings.xml first would be a (very) good idea.

Sorry if this is a re-post as you may have missed the previous one..
Thanks for the latest update.

My latest feedback:
<return>OSD</return> and <enter>OSD</enter> in keymap.xml are lost and replaced by <rotate>. This breaks pictureOSD. And
2 options I miss from CCM Helix: Media certification country, default focused menu item. And for those using Openelec, a conditionally Openelec setting would be great.

And now there is a new Confluence-clone called Zeitgeist; it's really fast (3.5 mb textures by default) and has a much better organised skin settings menu. I think a skin settings cleanup would really help this skin too; remove some unneeded settings and group them.

I also would like to suggest to look at e.g. Rapier shutdown menu. It's much more descriptive than current. A bug is that favorites dialog doesn't get a scrollbar.

I currently have CCM Helix and have spent tons of hours customizing it. Now that OpenELEC 6 is officially out, I will probably be upgrading to Isengard and also switch to Xonfluence. That said, I would like to transfer my settings using above tip. I just want to be sure I do it correctly. Are these the proper steps?

1. Add Helly repo and install Xonfluence.
2. Switch skins to Xonfluence.
3. Make 1 copy of guisettings.xml file as backup only
4. Make 1 copy of guisettings.xml file that will be edited in notepad++
5. Open guisettings.xml file in notepad++ and substitute xconfluence for CCM.
6. Save changes
7. Put guisettings.xml back in /userdata
8. Reboot Kodi

OR SHOULD STEP #1 BE COPYING GUISETTINGS.XML, EVEN BEFORE INSTALLING XONFLUENCE?

Also, at what step do I remove CCM Helix from system?

I cannot seem to find a way to display the 5 addon shortcuts on my homescreen for videos,programs etc that were on the original.
Can someone please give me an idiots guide ?

Your description will probably work for the first version of xonfluence, but later versions have new settings that might give issues doing it this way.
I would suggest the following steps.
1) make a backup copy of your guisettings.xml file. Call it e.g. guisettings.original
2) make another copy that you can use as your working file. Call it e.g. guisettings.xonfluence
3) find all settings in the '<skinsettings>' section that start with the name 'skin.ccm.helix.' and copy them to a temporary file. Take care that the settings are placed at 2 parts of the file and that all settings are copied.
4) now replace 'skin.ccm.helix.' by 'skin.xonfluence.' in this temporary file.
5) copy all contents from the temporary file to the '<skinsettings>' section in guisettings.xonfluence and save this file.
6) close kodi (kodi should not be running for the next step).
7) copy guisettings.xonfluence to guisettings.xml
8) start kodi again (or reboot your system)
9) now xonfluence can be installed safely and all settings that were present in ccm.helix are now set accordingly in xonfluence
10) you may remove ccm.helix now.

I'm sorry it's rather complicated. Should get easier in Jarvis as every skin gets its own settings file from this version.

Helly.

Is there a way to add the repo directly to Kodi? Or would I have to download the zip externally and move it over to my device (Nvidia Shield)

Thank you

I don't know if there is a source that you can add. I had to manually download the repo.zip and transfer it over to my system. And even after installing the repo, I could not install the skin because whenever I would go to helly repo/skin/... this was empty. It wouldn't show me Xonfluence. (even after updating and restarting system)

So my only option to install the skin was to download the master.zip.

Hi, your instructions are perfect and not difficult at all. Thank you!

I was able to follow all steps, except for the most important one - copying the modified guisettings.xml over to Kodi. Unfortunately, I'm having issues doing this, as I cannot shut down Kodi to perform this crucial step, because I am running OpenElec. Every time I try replacing the file, after reboot, the original xml is back.

Do you happen to know how I can go about doing this in Openelec 6 (Kodi 15.2)? Is this a new feature in Isengard? I used to be able to replace guisettings.xml file when I was in Openelec 5.0.8 ( Kodi 14.2)
