Use terminal or other ssh compatible command line tool:

ssh "xbmc ip"
cd .xbmc/addons
mkdir skin.transparency
sudo apt-get install subversion
svn co http://transparency-xbmc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ skin.transparency

reboot and change your skin in settings -> appearance

Enjoy transparency on Dharma!

Thanks for the post!

I've been using Tortosie in a windows VM on my Mac, then ftping the directory to my Linux HTPC... this seems much easier!

Code:
ssh -l username 192.168.1.10
cd .xbmc/addons
mkdir skin.transparency
apt-get install subversion
svn co [url]http://transparency-xbmc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/[/url] skin.transparency

The 'sudo' command isn't required (better to not use it) in this case because it will give root rights to the 'skin.transparency' directory and it's contents. Thus you won't be able to edit files as the owner of the home directory content and you won't be able to update the skin from the addons section (once it's been comited to the repository).

If you already have a 'skin.transparency' directory present in the addons section, remove it first...

Code:
cd .xbmc/addons
rm -r -f skin.transparency

Will that remove any skin settings, or are they stored elsewhere?

Thank you for the info. I wonder when it this and many other skins and beautiful plugins will be added to the main repository.
Maybe there could be a beta tag/icon to the skins/plugins/scripts in test phase. Now that we have a great installe/update/remove script build into Dharma everybody should take advantage of that.

removing the skin won't delete your settings,
those are stored inside your Userdata folder.
