Skinning guide
Plex Home Theater is based on XBMC, so to understand how basics of skinning work, please refer to their manual. This page will try to document as many of the changes as possible from XBMC. It will not be comprehensive and it we won't guarantee that it will be 100% up-to-date, it's meant to be some help on the way. The Plex Skin will always be the best documentation.
