Kodi Gets a New Default Skin You Can Try Right Now
Kodi, one of our favorite home theater apps , has been using the same Confluence skin by default since 2009. Now there is a new skin in town and it looks pretty cute.
Technically, the new Kodi interface consists of two skins. The first, Estuary, will eventually replace the default interface for all new installations of Kodi 17 and up. If you want to try it out on an existing Kodi installation, you need to make sure you are using Kodi 17 (codenamed Krypton). The current stable release of Kodi is still at version 16, but you can find early access developer builds here .
The second skin is called Estouchy. While the look and feel is much the same, Estouchy is designed for a mobile interface with touch input (naturally), which Kodi was sorely lacking. In the meantime, the previous Re-Touched skin was fine, but it combines two separate skins in a single design language that you can use across devices. This is a good step in the right direction and the new skins look pretty good too.
