Creating A Skin

    Hey,

    Is it possible for an average user (me) to create a skin for boards?

    I basically want to take the idea of the existing minimal one but bring it to it's natural conclusion & maybe even make a better drop down menu while at it.

    Is that possible?

    We always wanted to do this but it multiplies the amount of work we have to do when upgrading VBulletin (and testing becomes more difficult).

    However we are working dilligently towards it and the new style drop-downs are a publically visible step towards that.

    Actually that answer sounds like a "No" when in fact its a qualified yes. We'll take a skin from you and either offer it as a Minimalist 2.0 or as a totally new skin.

    We just arent going to do this for everyone who wants a subtly different shade of mauve.
    Anyway, I've been told you are have some talent as a designer (so there!) :)

    Okay so, sounds good.

    I'll go off and read about creating a skin.

    By the way, if you simple ad id="www-boards-ie" to the body tag it makes it very easy for people to simply create their own stylesheets if they want to simply change the colourscheme to mauve or electric green!

    :)
