Hi
I'm a new user of XBMC for Windows, and I'm searching for some skin to test for my HTPC.
But I don't understand if skins are divided by XBMC version (xbox, Windows and Mac) and can't find a unique repository for skins

Can you help me?

thanks

skins should work regardless of platform, tough some skins can be heavy if u use the org xbox.

there is a svn repo here:
https://xboxmediacenter.svn.sourceforge....diacenter/

You can type it into your browser and decide for a skin to download like say u download aeon skin the link you use would be:
https://xboxmediacenter.svn.sourceforge....r/Vision2/


you need a program called tortoise svn to download skins from svn repo.
http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads

then browse to a folder where you would like the skin to be downloaded, right click in the folder and select svn checkout in the menu.

You then get a folder named vision2 containing the skin. inside the vision2 folder you will find a "build.bat" script. run it and you wil get a "BUILD" folder. go into the build folder and copy the vision2 folder to your xbmc\skins folder

then select the skin in the settings for xbmc

this is for windows use, on other platforms i dont know.

errors:

when i said aeon i ment vision2

and paste this link:
https://xboxmediacenter.svn.sourceforge....r/Vision2/

into the svn checkout dialog "url of repository" then hit ok button.

Thanks for the answer
I wrote this post because I downloaded skin MC360, installed it, and then I cannot use anymore my keyboard to exit from the settings menu

I will try some skin from the links you suggest me

Is any skin that is considered the best skin for HTPC?

thanks again

what skin u use is up to what experience you like..
always use the default skin projectmayhemIII if you have problems with some functions.

For advanced skins there is AEON and MEDIASTREAM.
this skins are popular but not on svn.
AOEN:
http://www.aeonproject.com/

MEDIASTREAM:
http://teamrazorfish.co.uk

This are ready to go by standard download. just extract them to your skin fodler.

On svn you could choose:

Basics-101/ and Basics-Vision/
these are light skins very userfriendly and easy.

other widely used skins are:
MARK-III/, Vision2/ and xTV/

I recommend Team Razorfish's MediaStream.
