In examining a ascx skin file I came accross all of this.  Can anyone explain or point me to a place that can explain what all these css attributes are referring to?

<
dnn:NAV runat="server" id="dnnNAV" ProviderName="DNNMenuNavigationProvider" ="main_dnnmenu_active" CSSControl="main_dnnmenu_bar" CSSContainerRoot="main_dnnmenu_container" CSSNode="main_dnnmenu_item" CSSNodeRoot="main_dnnmenu_rootitem" CSSIcon="main_dnnmenu_icon" CSSContainerSub="main_dnnmenu_submenu" CSSBreak="main_dnnmenu_break" CSSNodeHover="main_dnnmenu_itemhover" NodeLeftHTMLBreadCrumbRoot="" />

That's the control that puts the default menu on your skin.

There are quite a number of tutorials here related to skin design. There is also the Skinning Toolkit.

I'd recommend that you start with the beginner level tutorials and move on. Lee's "Red Leaf Skin" tutorial is just great. The entire Issues 23 and 25 deal with skins. I'd recommend Issue 25 after you look at some of the others.

Thank you.  I have almost finished the beginning skinning tutorials and I am about ready to move into those.  It does help to have a human opinion about what tutorials are special. 

I just need to get to them.  I think I will try to resolve my current problem and then watch them.  Since they teach me way faster than I teach myself. 

But I do need to ask the right questions which I can only get by teaching myself.

if you download the simple red leaf 3 panes skins it emphasizes

quote


This version (v1.3) of the Simple Red Leaf Skin is for DNN 4.4.x ONLY.

It uses the new method for selecting the DOC TYPE, so you do not need to alter the default.aspx file in order to install the skin.

Follow steps 1-3 of the installation instructions on this page:
http://www.dnncreative.com/tabid/23...fault.aspx

but there are no instructions on this page

there is an additional warning that says.

Make sure you read the full installation instructions as the skin requires additional setup steps BEFORE installing the skin.

and there is a link to how to create the redleaf skin.   but no 123 intructions to install it.

so i guess I will go through the videos but all I wanted was to install it.
