Re: [Freevo-devel] How about another SKIN

[Pablo C. <pca...@gm...>]

Hi Maciej,

Ufff, finding this "branch" has been a hard work since I'm not a
programmer and it's the first time I deal with this web. But finally I
think I've downloaded the right zip.
link to branch <https://github.com/murbaniak/freevo1/tree/xbmc>

So, It is supposed that if I install this "branch" it'll work?.... well,
I'll setup a new VMachine with ubuntu 13.10 and I'll try it.

I've been seen some content and its great, there are lots of icons,  :D
  it really looks as Xbmc  ;D 

Thank-you Maciej.

Regards.
