Hi Dan you would get a better response if this was posted in the xbmctalk section for this forum, you maybe able to save bit of time with confluence mods already done by other members

use the super repo and install the skin pack there is virtually 5 confluence skins and another one called convergence which is all customiseable and confluence mod 4 etc.

I'm no expert in this area.

I just want the black bits of confluence to be transparent. The bar at bottom and bar across screen. It would seem it is locked up tight so that you will always have at least one skin!!!

The skin is part of XBMC/KODI so you won't find it in the MXIII firmware. As Justme said there are some great mods already out there. If you want to edit yourself you'll need to extract the kodi apk and edit the skin files from there or use a file explorer on your box, locate the skin folder and edit that.

Is no skin folder for confluence

As mentioned its hard coded into kodi, although you can download the skin and install it as repo

go to your home.xml file

<include>CommonBackground</include>
	<control type="image">
	<left>0</left>
	<top>90r</top>
	<width>1280</width>
	<height>90</height>
	<texture>floor.png</texture>
	<animation effect="fade" time="200" condition="Window.Previous(Home)">WindowOpen</animation>
	<animation effect="fade" time="200" condition="Window.Next(Home)">WindowClose</animation>
	</control>
	<control type="image">
	<description>LOGO</description>
	<left>10</left>
	<top>5</top>
	<width>120</width>
	<height>49</height>
	<aspectratio aligny="top" align="left">keep</aspectratio>
	<texture>kodi-logo.png</texture>
	<include>VisibleFadeEffect</include>
	<include>Window_OpenClose_Animation</include>
	<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(homepageWeatherinfo)</visible>
	</control>

and change the visibile to false you can also remove the logo doing the same. or as mentioned in erlier post you can download confluence skins already modded where all you do is check and uncheck a box to remove the black bar or osd and also the logo etc

Which repo? I can't find it anywhere

I ended up making it on PC, then copying it across.
