Overwhelmed on Skins
#1
Totally new to XBMC running on Apple TV 2. I see the fantastic pictures posted of the Aeon skin and I am totally lost on how to even start to get mine to look like some of the ones that I have seen.
Has anyone posted their modified skins as a whole zip or in a repo that can just be loaded into the ATV2?

many are available through the xbmc addon repo:
System > Add-ons > Get add-ons > XBMC.org add-ons > Skin

I have looked at those and unless I am missing something those are not heavily modded to look like the pictures I see in some of the posts here on the forums and unfortunately I am not gifted enough to make my ATV2 on xbmc look like they have it looking.

Its not really modding.
Just go to System>Skin and change everything you want.

But I think for an ATV2 Aeon skins are not the best but you can always try and if they are to slow take a look at reFocus should run smooth on every system and looks nice.

Well as Teko suggested, I looked at reFocus and like the layout and backgrounds and would like to duplicate what I see here...

There's no easy way of copy/pasting the settings from others
It's best to just try all settings yourself.
Read/follow the forum rules.

well, you can download reFocus here (if you haven't done so already):
http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-focus/downloads/list

next up would be to scan you movies / tv show / music to the library,
so you get all the fanart backgrounds, movie posters and additional info.
see our wiki to get you started:

ronie, what do you mean "scan to the Library"? I am using an Apple TV2, not a computer. I already have stuff on my PC that I would like to stream to the Apple TV2 from my computer.

in step 7, check 'run automated scan'

there's also a video tutorial:

Did you follow the links that ronie provided? That's why they were posted, to answer the questions you have.
