On your board go to,
Admin CP >> Manage Style Sheets.
It is from that location that you'll find the CSS, which is what you'll need to edit to change the skin.

Much of skinning is a learn as you go experience, but the following generalized links will be of help to you as you learn:


If after attempting to manually edit the CSS via the Manage Style Sheets pages you decide that it is too complicated, there are alternative methods you can take. The links below are to Skin Generators located on our website that you can make a skin with.


Good luck and if you have any further questions, don't hesitate to post here.

Search google for "learn CSS". It's kindof like a language.

Not really. =/ Skinning uses CSS, which is an internet-wide coding tool. Most web pages use CSS.

If the guides don't help you, I'd suggest looking into the base CSS and playing around with it, editing it and seeing what changes what. Learn from experience; it's how I learned.

You can use practically any HEX color (at least to my knowledge)

some sites that can help with colors:
