If the skin is causing it to green screen and crash then it's only the enigma2 engine that's crashing so you should still be able to use DCC to logon onto the box. Once there navigate to the folder /usr/share/enigma2 and in there should be a folder containing the skin, for the time being just use DCC to rename the skin folder that's causing the problem, hopefully on next restart of enigma2 it will revert back to the default skin. If it does then jobs a good one, go back and remove the folder you renamed to get rid of the offending skin.

If that doesn't work then restart the box whilst holding the power button to get the box into STOP mode then use IE to reflash.
