    Hi Everyone ,

    I have just started to use DNN for my website development and now i  am  facing problems regarding DNN skin. I have gone through the tutorial which teaches how we can change the look of our website by changing its skin. But i want to know is there any tool or toolkit through which i can develop my own skin as there is limlited amount of free downloadable skins available. I am looking forward to develop my own skin as i have some theme regarding my website. So i really hope that  you all are going solve my query .

    Hoping for your quick and positive response from your end.

    Thanks and Regards

    Pragya

    Hello Pragya

    You can use Visual Web Developer Express or any text editor e.g. notepad

    Hi Eureka!!

    So what i concluded from your last two mails is that if i want i can use dreamweaver or visual web developer  to create skin than later on i can apply it to my website. So i can use CSS and Skin Toolkit as well for it.

    I was just trying to figure out other options as well for crating options as well , so as DNN provides us Flexibility of creating website is it possible that we can get the same flexibilty for skin solution as well i mean is it possible to have tool through which we can generate skin of our choice like we can customize the skin acc. to our wish. If one like to change the color or containers or say background color than one can do so by selecting those features and than generate a skin acc. i mean is it possible to avoid writing up the large code for generating the skin.

    i hope that you are going to advice me on this issue as i need your valuable guidance.Meanwhile i am going through skninning tutorials as well available on your site.

    Hoping for a positive and quick response from your end.

    Thanks & Regards
    Pragya

    Hi Pragya

    Sorry, but this is not my website, (this is one of mine: http://www.drivewaydesign.eu ), I created my skin using dreamweaver.

    This site is the work of Lee Sykes. I suggest you follow his tutorials regards skinning and creating modules, you will find them useful.

    It is possible to easily change the colour of your skin and containers via your css file and select whatever skin or container for any page.

    Hello Pragya,

    If you are looking to get started skinning, check out the tutorials from Issue no 5 & 6 onwards, they explain how to setup visual web developer and should give you all the info you need, thanks,
