butchabay Wrote:You have to download showmix evolution beta. I just downloaded now to test:
- These Aeon MODS are only for XBMC Dharma builds
- Download Aeon Showmix Evolution Beta
- Extract the rar file to C:\User\Home\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\Addons
- Now you should have a skin named skin.showmixEvolution in your addons folder
- Start XBMC, go to settings, Apparence, Skin, and select Showmix Evolution
- Done
How said, i've tested it right now and the skin can be choosen without problems.
Actually i can't understand people having problems doing such a simple procedure. I understand that there are new users and maybe a bit confused,
about installing via repo, via zip.file etc... but finally you should have the skin in the addons folder of xbmc, preferable in the appdata folder.
Just try it and let me know.
cheers

I have even tried unpacking the showmixEvolution.rar and then adding to a .zip and putting in C:\User\Home\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\Addons to then install via zip option but it fails.
I have installed lots of skins on prevous versions of Darma but can't understand why this one won't work for me - have you any ideas?
edit - I have tried running XBMC in admin and following the install from zip route the log shows the install getting as far as installing //home/addons/showmixEvolution/skin.showmixEvolution/sounds/up.wav before deleting everything again.
Thanks

ZombieRobot Wrote:for me for now the project is dead for good reason there is no way to access the images in showmix so i cant edit the skin how i would like the images are in a kind of zip file that can not be opened the only way to continue this skin would be to get the original images off andy black which i have tried but no response even having azido try contact him via skype didnt work without the images its no good i was getting held back coding wise not making much progress.
Aeon showmix is a amazing skin i hope someone with more time / access to textures picks it up.
