Actually after reading the papers and looking at the tools avaible I am going to follow them. It is only slight less as robust as what I wanted and way way less work. That is the main reason I bought this is to make things easier. The Skin whitepaper is really good, and since it is only 16 pages but so valuable I recommend they embed it in the admin console so you dont have to reference. THAT would be awesome.

As for your method of doing it, I have no idea if it's a good idea or not. I find it easier to use the default way of doing it, but I suppose if you want to do it your way, then you may. You'll probably have to edit the header template though. And then add your css either at the bottom of the vbulletin.css file or using some other method to add css.

I decided to follow the white paper on skin creation. Between that and the stylevar dictionary I am good to go. Lot less work then trying to do custom stuff. The custom stuff is not hard in itself, but tweaking such a complex platform to insert it is not worth it.

Quick question, I have the full 4.0 CMS publishing suite. In the admin console there is only one section for styles... but when I follow the white paper it only affects forums and blogs. Is there a seprate place to do the CMS layout as well ?
