I was wondering if we are at the point yet where we could add new skins? If so how do I add them? ---

It should be possible to install skins like add-ons (see OpenELEC wiki for details). But some menu-entries will probably just not show up with other skins... ---

I am able to ssh in but I do not know what folder to place the skin in.  Anyone have any thoughts? ---

I'd like to install Retroplex. That's what I use now. Possible? How? I have my PI as of yesterday. Waiting for the power supply. Should get by tomorrow. ---

Try placeing the skin folder at /storage/.plexht/addons or use the confluence skin to be able to access the addon installer to install from zip. Just follow the OpenELEC instructions ---

Neither option worked.  The file in the addon folder is not accessable and the install from zip give a dependancy error. ---

Hopefully this will help.  I could not paste the entire log so i just searched for the skins that I tired to install. This is the same thing I just pasted more of it.  Thanks for the help. ---

Your skin requires a addon you need to install first: "script.recentlyadded" ---

I was able to get skins to work by placing the unzipped skin folder in the directory noted above (/storage/.plexht/addons).  I used WinSCP to do the file transfer.  At first I had a permission issue as you noted above when logging in as "plexuser".  After logging in as "root" (password was also "rasplex") I had write permissions to that directory.  You must reboot your pi before you can select it in the menu. ---

Awesome! I can't wait to try these when I get home tonight. Any other themes that exist other than Retroplex and MediaPlex? They both look awesome, but I'd like to try even more. ---

I have only tried a few skins so far, but to this point Quicksilver is my favorite - and it seems to work well on RasPlex.  [https://github.com/reddragon220/Quicksilver](https://github.com/reddragon220/Quicksilver) ---

Found quite a few, actually. Most of them are decent. I really like this one: [https://github.com/sandman4sure/skin.refocus\_for\_plex\_back\_to\_blue\_edition](https://github.com/sandman4sure/skin.refocus_for_plex_back_to_blue_edition) Lovely. ---

So, most skins load at some level, but pretty much all of them seem to cause PHT to hang, usually when attempting to navigate to any media folder. What a shame! I'd love to see the "refocus" skin ported fully to work well with rasplex. ---
