Skin updates
March 27th, 2011
As you may remember, XBMC 10.1 was recently released in order to address a bug that would cause a crash for Windows users when receiving an automatic update for the current skin.
Now that a few weeks have gone by we are comfortable sending out skin updates. For those of you who still have not updated to 10.1 (especially Windows users who don’t use the default skin!), please be sure to update now.
Enjoy the newly updated skins. In addition, be sure to check out some of the new ones that have gone in recently like Simplicity and Neon, plus two more from our very own Jezz_X that are slated for inclusion in the next few days.
Since I update new version I cannot connect to internet! the add ons does not work, nothing that has to be with the internet works.. any ideas or solutions? thanks for everything.
Neon is the first skin that I’ve actually LIKED in many years. I’ve tried many of them but always went back to the default. Raiper was pretty good but isn’t updated anymore.
Yesterday I tried Neon and it has now become my favourite skin. It’s good looking AND usable and its ability to put arbitrary items on the home page is fantastic! I wish all skins could do that.
Nice, thx.
Could you please remove the “change skin” notification popup after AUTO-update.
I think you usually don’t want to change the skin every time, when there several skins updating in the backgound.
Couldn’t agree more with wnuck. Can you please provide an option to remove that pop-up? That is SO annoying that it kinda forced me to remove almost all skins to minimize the number of times it appears.
it’s a bug. it’s only supposed to happen for new installs. i’ve identified the logic error, will be handled in due time. thx for notifying us.
Thx guys.
Any chance of getting an updated Rapier skin? This is the one skin I miss from pre 10.1 days.
For us new XBMC users, how do I update skins? Is there a built-in function in XBMC or do I just apt-get update?
@Timothy Friesen
also here, an update to the rapier skin is appreciated. keep the great work!
Regards
Just wanted to say thanks, and I LOVE the NEON skin. I’m in Tuxie’s boat, I always went back to the default skin. Never really fell for any of the others, not that there was anything wrong with ‘em. But NEON – ooh la la. In case you haven’t been told in a while, you guys are awesome, XBMC is the best.
@wnuck
You can turn notifications of from the menu on the left, when in Addons settings.
Biggest problem as others have mentioned is the pop-up that asks if you want to use a new skin after it gets updated. I hope a 10.11 fix gets released asap. Thanks for the excellent work!
Nice, new skin updates!! :D
None of the skins are actually nice and clean and that’s a bummer. I loved Rapier, but isn’t updated any more. I use Shade at the moment. It’s nice but the views in Movies and/or TV Shows aren’t all that.
Hi
I recently start using xbmc. I am a newbie. I want to change the skin to aeon show mix. I am using xbmc 10.1 where can i find all the information to install this skin? Will I be able to install this on xmbc 10.1 version? Any help appreciated.
Thanks!
Hey there! I updated XBMC to 10.1. After this, the Program doesnt show any pictures, logos etc.
Would be great, if sb could help me!
Hi
I don’t know if I’m being really dim. I’ve upgraded to 10.1 (windows) hoping to see some nice new skins like NEON (currently use Transparency!).
But when I go to add-ons -> get add-ons -> XBMC.org add-ons -> Skin -> all I get is a list of 9 that were there before (which doesn’t include Neon or Simplicity)
Any help would be lovely.
I love the skins, but most skins dont support the subtitle button :(
