What is the name of Kodi 17 Skin (“default” Kodi Krypton skin)?
Estuary is the name of Kodi 17.0 skin. Although Estuary is a great theme, most long-time Kodi fans will prefer good old Confluence. But the important thing is what is easiest for you to use. So switch to whatever theme you want!

On which Kodi-enabled devices does this Skin-switch work?
This skin-change method works on all Kodi-capable devices, even though we did the YouTube video demonstration (above) using Fire Stick. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Amazon FireStick & Fire TV
- Android smartphones, tablets, and Android TV Box units
- Mac computers
- Windows PCs
- Raspberry Pi
- and all other Kodi streaming players.
Wrap Up
The default Kodi 17 skin is a new experience for most Kodi users. Therefore, you should make things easy on yourself and install the Kodi Confluence skin.
This makes it easier to install TV Addons in Kodi. Since we are more familiar with the old Kodi layout, we install addons much faster by having Kodi run the old theme.
