Info updated on:

Preen is a Skin Manager for Plex.
On initial launch, Preen loads an xml file from this website listing all currently available skins. This list is re-loaded when the Find New Skins button is pressed or if Preen is left running for more than 24 hours.
Preen then checks for an installation of git in one of three places:

•/usr/local/git/bin/git

•/opt/local/bin/git (MacPorts install)

•/usr/local/bin/git
If git is not found a "download git" screen is shown and the bottom button is changed to read "Quit and Download Git". Pressing that button should launch the open the Mac Git download page in the default web browser.
If git is found, Preen's normal spash screen will be shown instead.

Users can check the skins they wish to install.
When the user has finished marking skins for download, they press the "Install/Update Skins" button and waits for git to do its thing.

Preen creates a shell script in the temp directory. This shell script checks for an existing installation of the skin in and either asks git to download it for the first time or pulls the latest version of the skin. (The first download of a skin can take quite a while.)

The skin is put into the Plex skin folder, ~/Library/Application Support/Plex/skin

Once all of the skins are downloaded (Preen downloads the skins, one at a time, in a background process) Preen stops the spinning indicator and the "Install/Update Skins" button can be pressed again.

Every 24 hours Preen will automatically perform the "Install/Update Skins" function if Preen is left open.

The user opens Plex, goes to the Preferences/Settings, and selects the skin from Appearances.
