    Default Skinning is a basic customization for HTPC

    It is lame that even an external configuration doesn't exist to change skins. I think the current skin sucks. That is one of the great features of MediaPortal.

    Default Why no skinning?

    I have to wonder why Boxee dropped the skinning/theming support from xbmc. Very strange. It seems to me that Boxee's support for customization and "plugins" is woefully inadequate. If Boxee does not address this asap, they are going to be eaten alive by googleTV as it becomes more affordable and allows android applications.

    Just my two cents.

    "Plugins" have been replaced by "apps" which gives Boxee users access to things like Vudu, Netflix, and more...

    This, so much this. Recently bought the Boxee Box and was very disappointed that there is now way to use all the awesome skins that exist for XBMC. As already stated it should not be that big of a deal to implement since Boxee is built on XMBC.

    Yes it is only cosmetically and brings no new functionality but I for one use my box almost every day and the current skins is severly lacking if compared to many of the XBMC skins.

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that these days that Boxee is different enough from XBMC that those skins are no longer compatible with Boxee...
