Skinning Guide?

[cyberphr]

Is there anywhere I can find a skinning guide for vbulletin 3.5.4?

Most of making skins is easy enough,
but I'm unsure what templates to edit to change certain parts of the board...

Someone wanna help me out? :knockedout:

You need to know .CSS and XML inside out

Make your layout in .PSD and than slice it and know how to code.

Alternatively, Grab yourself a coffee, some headache Pills, and a high quality punchbag.

Everyone thinks that skinning is just a few 'tweaks' here and there. It's not hard (mostly HTML, CSS and Photoshop) but it IS very time consuming

Install a 'test' forum on your server and use that as a guinea pig :bunny:

Get tons of coffee and make sure you DON'T have anyone else beside you. You might go phscol (misspell)

for heaven's sake make sure no kids are around to distract you. Turn off the tv, the phone, and wear earplugs, unless you're darn good at multi-tasking, which I ain't

hmmm, skinning basic skins is always good to start off with, but they can be VERY time consuming when you have to create buttons for everything.

on the side not its fun when you get used to it and if you can use XML (which i can't ) you'll be able to create very nice skins and manipulate the things you want.

Very important guide.

Keep all weapons far away that can danger someone or ur-self just incase you go insane >.<

lol great advice...Much better than I expected on a professional forum :P

Anyways lol I found a skin similar to what I'm planning so I'm using it and just changing everything...I have a test forum...

Too young for kids (At 13 I am a kid rofl),
have some coffee and lots of painkillers,
good at multitasking and always keep a large switchblade knife at my desk.

All in order?

lol well it's going alright
