This Post is probably better, though instructions are for Windows, the basics should be about the same...

I have used Git as directed by the link in the above post and saved the skin in e:/xbmc skins. I see gitconfig file and .git folder in the skin.night folder. I wish to copy the skins folder to the addons folder of XBMC without including the .gitconfig file and .git folder. Is it possible do so & how?

delete the .git directory, and presto it doesn't have the git stuff.
however i recommend keeping it, so you can update from time to time

Has there been any new development since June?

Sorry busy pwning in call of duty, busy at work, managing 2-3 other skins really eats up the time...

One day/weekend soon I'm going to sit down finish up what I got and upload all my skins to the repo. Though the buggy Eden versions really have me contemplating going back to Dharma...

Exactly what i did went back to Dharma after playing with showmix just couldn't get my head around some of the bugs i was having with my Eden build drove me insane

Under both "Movies" and "TV Shows", there is a Files Menu. Here is the complete Source, as well as the return command.



Currently, I am working on a current bug I found in eden that I cannot go to the Albums menu after selecting an artist.

Using the Confluence Skin as a basis to fully update the night skin on my own machines. I will give some help as I go.

And NO, I am NOT taking over the skin. Just giving some assistance where possible.

I have been using the skin for long time, even now i still think this is the best skin out of all others. yesterday, there is a auto update for the precious skin, since it is auto update, i haven't been noticed, but the skin has been updated and refreshed successfully (it is my fault that i didn't turn this function off). the operation seems really fantastic, but i have lost my customised font.xml file. I thought i was lucky as i have backup font.xml file stored in my computer, but i have just found out the structure of the new font.xml file has been changed, and each of the particulars' name also haven't been changed.

mcborzu, can you please release a font set that support unicode? I am begging you!!! or maybe, a list like below,

<name>LiberationSans_Regular_14</name> (What does it apply to)

<name>LiberationSans_Regular_16</name> (What does it apply to)

<name>LiberationSans_Regular_18</name> (What does it apply to)

Million Thanks!

Hi Mcborzu

I have changed to other skins periodically since Night fontset's structure has been changed. Seriously, just feel not the same and not right. Finally I have changed the default skin back to Night again and give a try to amend the fontset manually.

I have noticed the care that you have put into the skin. You have categorised 8 of the fonts (~/.xbmc/addons/skin.night/fonts/) in font.xml file, and make it really easy to amend that will eventually suit for everyone.

For my case, I need to display simplified and traditional chinese in most of the Viewtype. Instead of change the font.xml, I just download and rename the arialuni.ttf to LiberationSans-Regular.ttf, then copy and overwrite at ~/.xbmc/addons/skin.night/fonts/. restart the xbmc. Hooray!!!! chinese characters back on!!!!

For anyone who has the similar situation as mine, just do the same as above, you will basically get any of the language works like charm!

Many thanks mcborzu
