    The settings pages always open in the admin/edit skin.

    Have you tried just placing content in the top and bottom panes?  The other panes should collapse if you do that, so you may not have to create a new skin.

    If you do want to create a new skin, copy index1280.html and give it a new name.  Also copy the corresponding doctype file, and rename it similarly.  Edit the HTML page to your liking and place it and doctype back in the folder.  You will then need to go to the Skins section of the Extensions page, click the pencil icon to edit the skin and then click Update Extension.  This should result in creation of an ascx file that corresponds to your html skin.

    Then, go to the AboutUs and open settings.  Choose the new skin for that page.

    it Works ..
    thanks for great help

    for now i apply skin to Aboutme page ,

    now AboutMe page has dotnetNuke icon and then RibbonMenuBar(which contain admin,host,aboutme )

    My question is :

    1)Is RibbonMenuBaris part of my page or its Dotnetnuke menubar , as i want to change it because the site i am creating has menu bar which contain Home | Gallary | about me hyperlink ,

    2) i want to set MYHome page as my startup page of website, whout that DotnetNuke ribbonbar and dotnetNuke icon ,when i type localhost/myfirstsite

    The ribbonbar is part of the "control panel" that is visible to anyone logged in with administrative privileges.  You can remove it by removing it from your skin.  I'm not sure that this is a good idea, though, because you then will have no way of administering the site.

    I do not understand you question.  Can you try asking it differently?

    sorry, thats the better explaination what i want to ask

    please see 2 attached screen shoots ,

    -> screen shoot with DnnRebonbar,is the page that i view when i login to Dnn

    ->Screen shoot without DnnRebbonbar ,is the page that i want to display to User/visitor of my site ,because the visitor of the site doesnot have to do any thing with Admin,and host panel .



    i know its bit silly but i am not getting it ...

    The ribbon bar and controls are shown only to users who are logged into your site and given administrative privileges.  If you logout of your site, you should not see them.

    Set permissions for modules and pages to be seen by anyone as viewable by "All Users."

    Set permissions for modules and pages to be seen only by someone who has logged in as viewably by "Registered Users."
