This may not be a good tip, but it's very useful and reduces time for people hacking boards with many styles. This lets you mass modify/add templates without messing with the 'Master Style' that you can view in debug mode.

Create a main style. (note: this style does not have to be selectable)

I'm going to use 'Default Style' for this example
Create it so that your styles will be like this:
Default Style
-Style 1
--Child of Style 1
-etc
-etc
-etc

Ive been doing that with my newest project. I find that haveing a default master style just for my template edits makes it easy to add child forums with a different look to them.

you shouldn't do so, as the master style itself gets overwritten with each version upgrade...

lol I did that totaly by accident. when i added my first style i made it a child of the defualt and so when i went to install my first template modification, i found totaly by accident, that i only needed to edit the template to the default and not the rest. Definatly made for a happly surprised newbie to all of this.
