How to Change Backgrounds, Set Labels, Add Widgets and Much More in Kodi Skins

MJD

This guide is done using the popular Aeon Nox skin but you can play around with other skins in a similar fashion. If you want to use your own images when changing backgrounds then you will have to be able to access your image folder from the device you are using. This can be done locally or via a NAS. But fanart is available too.
