In this tutorial we demonstrate how to change the skin of the FCK Editor.
We show you how to download a new FCK Editor skin and upload it to your DotNetNuke portal. We then show you how to edit the web.config file settings to allow the new skin to be selected within the FCK Editor. Finally we demonstrate how to apply the new skin to the FCK Editor in DotNetNuke.
In this tutorial we download the Office2007 and Aluminium FCK Editor skins. We show you how to apply a skin to a single instance of the FCK Editor, modules of the same type and across a portal within your DotNetNuke installation.
