Sometime when you have time.. post your vision on the skin design for this site.. maybe if I have some free time I will play with it and see what I can come up with.. something to make it less... pale white. [blink]

Haha, shit, I forgot about that. I got so wrapped up in pushing things over, lol.

I'll hand draw some stuff and through it up on photoshop.
I do like the stuff that's offered. Oh and it's EASY to make a test website too. I'm excited about that.

I'd like to make it clear, the template/theme/skin you currently see for the entire site and forum's is NOT final. It will take quite a long time to get the theme layout I desire, and then skin it to my liking. Yes, that's dictator talk. :)

Creating a custom Theme/Skin for YAF... (Some layout info there as well.. basic though.)

Skinning YetAnotherForum is kind of self evident. Just copy an existing theme folder and XML file from the themes folder. All there is to it is a theme.css file in the folder (and a bunch of images) and the settings in the XML file. Done.

[h]Can you dump out the theme.css and let me take a peak at it.. see what is all involved in it.[/h]

Actually, you can only create "theme", not "skin". If you want to create theme, , you need to create subforlder in '/themes' directory (e.g. '/themes/mytheme'Wink, then create xml file for your theme directly in themes directory (e.g. 'mytheme.xml'Wink. In xml file, you'll define name and directory in one of first nodes (you must point yaf to directory you just created for theme files).

Best way how to do this is copy some existing theme and change it's files. Basically, you need to change that xml file in themes root. It's structure quite self-explanatory, but don't hesitate to ask if there is something unclear

YetAnotherForum (YAF — pronounce “laugh”) is a forum package based on ASP.NET (C#) and Microsoft SQL Server. It has tons of features and functionality, and it use my , but when tasked with customizing it… well, that can be not quite so easy.

Modifying the Layout of YAF

For as easy as changing the theme of YAF is, changing the actual layout is a time-consuming and involved process. And there are a few things which are not as evident from quick google searches or examining the code. So take a lesson from me and save yourself hours of time.
