Just finished reviewing all of the videos on how to build a skin for DNN 6.x. Outstanding information. However, for the sake of time, if I purchase a skin from the Store.DotNetNuke.com, how can I modify the elements using the information learned from the tutorial? I guess what I am asking, can I customize a pre-packed skin?

For example, one of the packages under consideration doesn't have a header pane. Can I modify the Skin.css and develop a header pane?

Thanks.

PS. Just subscribed to view all of the videos! Great source of information.

Yes, you will be able to modify the skin by modifying any of its components.

To add a pane, you would add this in either the HTML or ASCX file. You would add styles for the pane in the CSS file.

If you are comfortable doing so, I would delete all of the HTML files and work directly with the ASCX files. If not, modify the HTML files.

Appreciate the information. Now the other question I have is how to handle the page background color and/or image. Using using the PSD Skin developed in the tutorial, how would I have the border around the skin be a light blue? Or how would I add an image like a website that I recently came accross: http://funoutdoorliving.com/

Thanks.

You should be able to add an image like that using attributes in CSS for the appropriate element. That could be same element to which you have give a background color.

I see the files under the video 1, but is there anywhere where the complete files are? I have gone through all the videos but would like to start with the final files and modify it from there. Is this possible? thks.

Phil,

On this page: http://www.dnncreative.com/Home/tab...fault.aspx

I think that the final files are in the downloadable file.

I don't see them, only the initial ones, as part of tutorial 1, are listed in the downloads. I don't see complete ones anywhere. Could really use them. thks.

I am unable to access the videos. There is no hyperlink. Please advise.

Gail,

Unless you have subscribed to DNN Creative, the number of videos available is quite restricted.

Any chance of getting the final files uploaded. it would be very useful to start from that point instead of having to type in all the changes made throughout the tutorial. thks.

Although I'm a somewhat recent subscriber, I've watched a few video series and this is easily my favorite. The series covered all aspects for this skin including a little time on the menu. It wasn't a lot but enough to understand the CSS that it uses.

I'm actually watching it for the second time and I may have missed this but I needed to link to the PIE.htc file by navigating up one level, like this:

behavior: url(../PIE.htc);

Great work on the videos. Please keep stuff like this coming. You're easily one of the best resources available for DNN.
