Hi,
I'm completely new to this and trying out xbmc for the first time, and it is great.

I really want to try out the Aeon Showmix but dont know how to install it. It's not in the xbmc skin add ons...

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

Can you hep please?

Thanks,
M

I extracted it to C:\Users\NAME\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons on Windows 7. I'm not sure if you can install it through the addon-on manager as it's a rar and when I tried to rename it to .ZIP it still failed to install.

Extracting to the directory above worked though.

Whoops did i make it a .rar file will change it soon what you can do is unzip it to your desktop then go into computer/program files /Xbmc/addons and put the skin in there now next time you enter Xbmc go to appearance in settings and change skin in there
