Here's the instructions for installing skins for us noobs. Full credit to OwNeD162
Ok, here is a quick run through on how to install any skin that is Dharma compatible on the ATV2
Download the skin you want (it will be a .zip file) - the Aeon65 skin is here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=76839
Using a SSH client (I use WinSCP on Windows cause you can visually drag and drop files) login via SSH to your ATV2 (Username is root, password is alpine)
Once logged in, navigate to the /private/var/mobile folder
Drag and drop your .zip file here and wait for it to transfer
Once transfered, you can quit the SSH client
On XBMC go to the Settings > Appearance area.
Click on Skin (so that it opens a list of installed skins)
In that window there should be a "Get More" button, click on that.
This should take you to another list of the skins
Click 'Menu' on your ATV2 remote and it will load another list, with one of the options being 'Install from ZIP file', click on 'Install from zip file'
Click on 'Home Folder'
You should see your skin.zip in this list, click on it and it will start installing (it may look like it's doing nothing because you can continue to use the device as normal whilst it works)
Once it has finished installing it will ask you if you wish to switch to your newly installed skin, click 'yes'
That should be it, it should switch over and you will be good to go
I tried this and managed to install Aeon65 but it was quite slow and have subsequently changed back to redux. I prefer the look of Aeon but the speed of redux :-)
