I am new to skinning.  I am trying to change the text of the Login link (for starters).  I think I am not connecting to the css correctly.  I have linked to the style.css file from the .htm file.  My css looks like this:
.SelectedTab {
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 8.5pt;
    color: orange;
    font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica;
    text-decoration: none;
}

A.SelectedTab:link {
    text-decoration:    none;
    color:green;
}

A.SelectedTab:visited  {
    text-decoration:    none;
    color:purple;
}

A.SelectedTab:active   {
    text-decoration:    none;
    color:#eeeeee;
}

A.SelectedTab:hover    {
    text-decoration:    none;
    color:#cccccc;
}

I have chosen ugly colors just to see if I can get it to work. 

My skin.xml file looks like this:

  <Object>
    <Token>[LOGIN]</Token>
    <Settings>
      <Setting>
        <Name>CssClass</Name>
        <Value>SelectedTab</Value>
      </Setting>
    </Settings>
  </Object>


Thanks for your help.

Hi Katie,

In your skin.htm file you do not need to specify the CSS file that you are linking to, it automatically is set within DNN. - You should add your styling to the skin.css file.

There are other css files in DNN and you can read about how they all work here:

Introduction to CSS and inheritance in DotNetNuke skins

I would suggest you go to our tutorials page and look at the skinning section, if you follow the tutorials through in order it will save you loads of time.
