Kamaishi skies differs from Jukebox since it combines the directory list with the jukebox information.

The skin also supports two visual styles (black and white) that can be matched with random background images.

== llink skins ==
llink is skinnable. You can change the look and feel of it very easy, even do a completely own skin with unique design, layout and functions.

The limitations currently lie in the NMT Gaya (browser) rendering capability. Gaya only recognizes a limited and downsized amount of html tags and javascript, compared to a normal PC browser such as Firefox.

Normally, changing a skin implies a small change in the llink.conf file. Open it with a text editor where you will find further instructions and explanations.

For more information on how to change pre-built skins, please read the [[llink:user_guide|llink user guide]].

== Default skin ==
The default llink skin is called Aquarius, or '''aquarius_720'''. It lists directories with your media, as set in the llink.conf file media ROOTs. As an extra feature, it displays the current zodiac sign accordingly: aquarius, pisces etc. depending upon the time of year. As the name reveals this skin is optimized for 720p HD displays but scales up fine.

== HD vs. SD skins ==
If you have an older CRT TV which is not marked "HD Ready" you should use an SD skin. As the default skin is HD it will not render well and display everything llink provides. There is a Jukebox SD skin available in the package called '''SD_jukebox''' but you may also add the '''ishou_sd''' skin, created by Deezel. You can get it [http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LCOZAMXJ here] (Megaupload.com).<br>
Remember to update your llink.conf file:
<code>SKIN|path=./skin/ishou_sd/|PAGE_SIZE=15|SIZE_TYPE=human</code>

== Jukebox skins ==
The jukebox style skins display cover art and information, instead of a directory listing.
Apart from the default jukebox skin, surprisingly called '''jukebox''', the '''kamaishi_skies''' is also included in the default llink package.

Kamaishi skies differs from Jukebox since it combines the directory list with the jukebox information, but it only displays movie information and cover art for one movie at the time.

If you want to use jukebox style skins you need to supply llink with the cover art pictures and xml files that contain the movie information. llink has a basic built in scraper but you can also use the java based [http://code.google.com/p/imdbit/ imdbit] or [http://www.mymovies.dk/ MyMovies.dk]. For further information, please read the [[llink:user_guide|user guide]].

== Other skins ==
'''Moon_720''' is a basic skin. At present, it is the most convenient skin to use if you are connecting to llink with a browser.

The '''blackskin720''' is an Aquarius clone, but it is less cluttered. The text is yellow on black background, and the font is a little bit bigger than the default skin which makes it easier to read at distance. It also changes background picture randomly.
