the learning process moves forward...

The skin process was actually easier than I made it out as before...

Using your steps, I was able to make from another clean copy of
Boltwire, a boltwire skin.

So I now have a zip file called boltwire.zip which contains:

  Length     Date   Time    Name
 --------    ----   ----    ----
      626  09-02-09 20:46   boltwire/boltwire.gif
      855  09-02-09 20:47   boltwire/code.skin.boltwire
     4307  09-02-09 20:47   boltwire/code.style.boltwire

When I loaded it, everything worked almost as if I had the original
skin again.

There were a couple differences..

1) I had modified the top zone to add breadcrumbs across the top
right. This is still there when I load the original skin.  I should
have made that type of change in the skin itself perhaps.

2) Same thing with the size zone.  I added a graphic in the zone that
if I were really using a custom skin, it would be in the skin file
instead.

Wondering a bit if I can include zone sections in a skin as well that
would accomplish the same??

Still need to play a bit more, but I am getting closer.

I was a little confused by the other skins because they all seemed to
include secondary style css file which I thought were needed.  They
are not.  So it is alot simpler than I thought.

The other confusing part was how the installed skin get copied over to
the field/pages area... That took a little getting used to as I wanted
to make changes to the original files in the farm/skins area.

It is easier than that.  When ready to create a zip file, you just
grab the copies from the field/pages area.

Very cool.
