I tried out the metropolis skin today and it just makes xbmc go black. I can hear the clicking that occurs when going through the menus and what not but I can't see anything to switch skins again, any help please?

Which version of XBMC are you using... Mac, Win, XBMCbuntu? You will need to go to the addons folder, delete the folder with the new skin and restart XBMC... It should go back to Confluence.

I am on linux and i tried to find the skin in the xbmc folder but i didn't see any of the addon skins i have downloaded... I found the default confluence skin is there a way to revert to that through the files?
