Hi guys, hope someone can help a newbie here.

I had been successfully running XBMC on an Linux system, using the fantastic Night as my skin.

I now have a Windows 7 system, but can't see Night as an available skin. I have downloaded it in a 'Git zip file', but when i go to install from zip file, i get an error message saying 'Dependencies not met'

Can anyone explain in idiot proof terms what I need to do please?

Would love to see mcborzu pick up night again! It was a great skin.

I know, def my favourite skin so far. I have managed to install 'nightbox' though, which seems almost identical to me.

Anyone recommend any other skins that allow the homescreen to be only populated by playlists, and to have a custom background? Just to make it more kid & wire friendly.

Try Aeon Nox or Cirrus Extended. Those skins are my favorite. There are many others that do what you require. Just try them out until you find one you like.
