Hi,
I'm new to XBMC and would love to try out the Cirrus skin.

I've downloaded the rar file but don't know what to do next.....

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

New to xbmc but 77 posts? Confused

It's very easy to install a skin. You need to extract the rar file to your addons folder. The location of this depends on your os:

Windows 7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons
Linux: ~/.xbmc/addons

you should then have a skin.cirrus.extended folder in the addons folder.

Restart xbmc.

Go to settings --> appearance --> skin

Cirrus Extended should now be listed.

Hit enter and enjoy!

MythSuspendAlarm: Suspend xbmc and set ACPI wake alarm based on next scheduled MythTV recording.
BBC Football Scores: Get live football score notifications.
Random Movie Script: Play random movies from user's library (for skinners).
