I actually made a duplicate skin last night using the two column left menu option at http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/ultimate-multi-column-liquid-layouts-em-and-pixel-widths
I then changed everything... :) I'll work on recreating it tonight and posting a link or something. -dustin sent from my palm pre Kevin wrote: Start a thread talking about skins. I think you (or someone, maybe even me) should create a skin that duplicates the original format. It took a while to figure out how to create a new one from scratch so that I could just plug it in and use it. Most of the existing skins were too radical of change for starting out so I wanted to start with the original skin so I could understand how it worked. That then gives someone a play box to experiment with using the original look and feel. If they don't like where it is going, they could turn the skin off and be back where they started. They could even remove the other skin completely. My original sin with the system was that when I started I didn't know how stuff worked, so I actually changed some code directly in the farm/ barn areas outside of the system which is one of the reasons why I am thinking now of doing a fresh install and just moving over the the pages I did and work the system as I should have been from the beginning. In some cases, I don't know what I tinkered with. Most of the forums work in that you can make a copy of an existing theme which is then installed. That lets you play with it without messing up the original. I know the concept is different because in this system, you can undo the changes... the caching takes a little getting used to. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BoltWire" group.
