Sorry, for a question that may have been easily answered by simply trying. However i just managed to jailbreak my ATV2 with Seas0npass (ATV and iMac are in different rooms - i really don't want to tether the device again anytime soon) and installed XBMC. What i really need now is the reFocus skin as i don't like the original one at all. So, before crashing the device i thought i may ask the community here whether skins are supported on the Apple TV at this time? And if they are, can I just use most FTP-Applications to transfer reFocus (which isn't available through XBMC Add-Ons Rep) to the skins folder?
Thanks for your time and help!

Skins are supported, though there is a few display issues being worked on. The skin is put in the addons folder (located in /var/mobile/library/preferences/xbmc/ for the iPad version, I'd assume it's similar for ATV) and has to be Dharma compatible. Note that XBMC only detects new add ons when you start it up so you may need to close XBMC and reopen it to actually be able to see the new skin as an option.
