I could image, as much as it's impossible in real life but hey as would say Buzz Lightyear, to infinity and beyond! Good luck with that mate ;-)

I am testing XBMC at my job because I would like to convince them to put media centers in the Pediactric wings. But as the testing goes on, I am not allowed to connect the box to bypass the firewall so it can access the internet, thus, I cannot download the skin directly from the addons section. I find this skin to be the most interactive and best looking, and I would like to present it with it as the main skin. How can I get a copy as a zip file so I can install it manually. I tried downloading the SVN with TortoiseSVN then zipping all of the files it downloads, but when I try to install it through the addons menu-Install from zip. A message pops up that install failed. I am using XBMC 10.0 RC1 r35326

stable zip: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/dharma/skin.transparency/
you can't install the svn version through the addon menu.
just put it in a skin.transparency folder in your addons directory
and xbmc will pick it up at startup.

So you are saying that the stable version you provided a link to I can install through the add-on menu, but if I were to use an SVN version, I should git it with an app such as TortoiseSVN and copy all of the files to a folder named skin.transparency in the addons folder on the XBMC machine? Am I following that correctly?

Hrm, it should keep all your settings, how are you updating?

First i do svn checkout http://transparency-xbmc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ skin.transparency.
Then i manually have to copy the dir to /usr/share/xbmc/addons

dont checkout each time, do a svn update when you are updating, and it shouldnt go there, it should go in the addons in your home directory.
This is how I update:
Code:
xbmc@xbmc01:~$ cd .xbmc/addons/
xbmc@xbmc01:~/.xbmc/addons$ svn update http://transparency-xbmc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ skin.transparency- Henkske - 2010-12-13 21:49

Yep that's the way it's supposed to work
However he doesn't see the skin when in it's in my " home" folder. Only in /usr/share/xbmc/addons
