    Will the Minimal Extropy skin work in DNN 7? Our non-public intranet uses that skin and we're gearing up to upgrade to DNN 7.

    Yes, it is compatible. You may find it helpful to do some minor editing of, especially, the containers to eliminate duplicate "manage" controls.

    The current skins that are shipped with DNN are Dark Knight mobile, Facebook, and Gravity. Gravity is more akin to Minimal Extropy. You can probably make it look at lot like ME with some minor tweaking.

    On the other hand this might be a good time to think about freshening your site's look and feel. There are some nice, clean, modern skins available via the DNN store (DNN Creative's new skin is based on one.). If you like free, look for Chris Hammond's HammerFlex skin. While is takes a minimalist approach to design, it is flexible and fairly easy to modify to suit your needs.

    Thanks Joe. Which skin is the DNN Creative site using?

    I believe that it is modified from this skin: http://store.dnnsoftware.com/home/p...6b411fbbb4

    I have also used the bestdnnskins.com "Clear" skin on a couple of sites. With some modifications, of course.
