Many of us have been tempted by the allure of Kodi's beauty. There are some excellent skin designers out there who have gone to great lengths to create and share beautiful ways of viewing and navigating our media collections. As default, Kodi comes with the excellent skin Estuary, but there are plenty more to choose from.
Installing a new skin
- Interface settings.png
Step 3: Select Interface settings.
- Skin get more installing.png
Step 8: Once downloaded, the skin and any dependencies it requires will install.
There’s only one skin there!
Right now you’ll only have the default skin Confluence installed. We need to fetch more from Kodi's repositories.
- Press cursor left so that the ‘Get More...’ button is highlighted and press enter.
- Now you can pick which skin you want to install from the list! Simply cursor up and down to highlight the one you want to try, then press enter.
- A confirmation window will appear. Press enter on ‘Install’ to continue.
- You will see a percentage value beside the skin name complete, followed by the word ‘Enabled’ appear beside it.
- You may be prompted if you’d like to enable the skin now. Select 'Yes'.
You’re done!
- Note: Confluence was designed to be fully featured. Sometimes as a new user, it can be daunting enough to get used to the program for starters without changing things. It is highly recommended that you stick to Confluence until you’re sure of how things work. Should you ever encounter issues with another skin, such as the feeling that something is missing, consider reverting to Confluence to see if it was simply an issue with that skin.'
