Skinning

First off, I'm Xeo.
Secondly, I wish this forum well.

kanno asked me to help skin the new [FeW] skin, but I don't have the time. I'd go more in-depth, but I already explained all of that...

Anyway, does anyone know how to skin for ZetaBoards? It's CSS, but the classes are completely new.

If you guys want to make a skin, some skinning guides are available on IF forums, but I haven't looked yet.


I know this seems like a weird first post here, but I didn't know if you guys planned to make a skin for it.

I've looked around for tutorials on how to skin, and I've looked for some pre-made skins, but I'm somewhat lost. In the future I'll work on a skin, get one made, or just find one. For now though I'll just leave the default since it looks alright.

I'm pretty sure there are two other skins available for ZetaBoards. One is darker and the other looks like a classic IF skin.

Make me a theme manager and I'll design a skin to fit the blog's skin.

Go to Admin CP Controls and click "Add" under theme managers.

Okay Kanno you're a theme manager. Thanks for any help that you give, but if you don't get around to it that's fine to. Thanks for the offer though. :)

For winter break next week, I'll definitely have plenty of time to skin. I'll start on it tonight. It will go pretty quick since I know the colors and design of the blog.

Edit:: Yea, so I only need a main title and a few graphics/color changes, but other than that, it's done.

kanno told me that the classes are a lot easier to work with.

In terms of code, does it take less (overall) to skin?
It seems that ZetaBoards has a much cleaner, less claustrophobic feel to it.

Does it take less? Absolutely. It also allows for greater customization, but not if you don't want to. I made most of this Cream Filled skin within 5 minutes.
