I assume alaska works with this as well

As long as you have the version available in post 189 of this thread. They've changed the way skins work (everything is now in an "addons" folder instead of the old "skin" folder).

Extract it to your user/XBMC/addons folder.
Thanks Hitcher.

is this the same as github ?

No.


diferent types of views - drago - 2010-06-16 08:22

Thanks Hitcher for a good looking skin. This is real beautiful but I’m missing one thing and just wanted to hear if you are planing to have it in this version later.

What I'm missing is to have diferent types of views in music-section when you are in "Files mode" not in "Library mode”? It would be great if the options Wall-view and files-view where enabled. Thank again for a good skin.

Using DSPlayer build 30385 -DX, I've extracted the rar into 'addons' folder

so... c:\program files\xbmc 30385 -DX\addons\Alaska Revisited

that's all that's needed? It won't show up for me in xbmc.
(I'm having this problem for each and every new skin I download -I'm not sure why?).

* The svn also confused me, it downloaded about 25mb and then said the connection had closed? I checked the folder and it's full of png files mostly Not like the usual stuff (media, PAL etc.)

Change the name to skin.alaska

This is Confluence's addon.xml, there is more to it but these bolded lines is what you need to change:
Quote:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<addon
id="skin.confluence"
version="1.1.0"
name="Confluence"
provider-name="Jezz_X, Team XBMC">

Change to:
Quote:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<addon
id="skin.alaska"
version="1.1.0"
name="alaska"
provider-name="Jezz_X, Team XBMC">

then put that addon.xml in the top of the skin folder and you're good to go...If you did this with XBMC running you might have to close and restart

Don't use the Git link (it's not been updated for ages) instead use the MediaFire link at the bottom of the first post.

thanks mcborzu, hitcher. I see what I did wrong now (after reading your advice).

I'd already tried renaming the folder, but I'd tried "skin.AlaskaRevisited" (just in hope really). Thanks for the quick help regarding the addon.xml also.

Hitcher/anyone - would you be able to advise how to change the default for TV from poster to banner? I prefer banner as standard and assume that if I set poster as standard to be scraped here and add the others as directed, if I switch to another skin, banner will be distorted as it'll use the poster?
