    Hi Joe.
    Still haven't found a suitable skin for simulation of this site;
    http://www.sgrefrigeration.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.sgrefrigeration.com.au/

    I tested the XD Flower but found that I don't have access to full code on this.
    Here's my comment to the creator XD Skins and Nina Meier.


    Thanks for your support and contributions to us “less savvy” DNN users.

    I have used your beautiful DNN-skins now since 2008, especially in love with the XD Flower skins.
    I just attempted to edit column width in this skin; XDFlower07.ascx - but found that there isn’t much in this code.

    Do I need to purchase a full version to get editable code?

    What skin do you recommend for this basic website?
    (Simulating layout for a customer request.)

    Doesn’t necessarily be a free skin, but if it is it’s great.

    Cheers

    Olle,

    I just downloaded the Flower set of skins from dnnskins.com.

    I think that everything is contained in the package. For the Flower07 skin, all you need is XDFlower07.ascx and skin.css. All of the sizes are defined in the skin.css file.

    Which width did you want to change?


    (This took me back a bit, as one of the first sites I ever did used the DesignAway skin ... and I even recognized it!)

    Thanks Joe..

    Yes I didn't see much in the .ascx, and I never looked in the .CSS for column sizes.


    Bit of old memories coming back?

    Bet that was many, many DNN sites ago?

    Cheers

    Olle..

    As Celine Dion would put it; "It's all coming back to me now"...

    Seems like all I need to do is swap the width on these 2 panes???

    .panes { width: 880px; margin: 0 auto; }
    #dnn_ContentPane, #dnn_BottomPane { clear:both; padding: 0; margin: 0 auto; }
    #dnn_LeftPane { float: left; width: 220px; padding: 0; }
    #dnn_RightPane { float: right; width: 640px; padding: 0; }

    Cheers

    Olle...
