 Business skin is a great set of skins that comes in 3 colours CSS Skin Pack for DNN, paving the road of Enlightment. It comes in Blue, Green and Cream with great selection of colours.
There has been clearly a need for CSS in DNN community for some time, however, complexities of content & Module placements have always stopped us producing these as packaged skins. Therefore, please note that this is not for you if you are going to add big tables or third party modules with questionable layouts.
We therefore can not guarantee the same consistent behaviour as you see in all our standard Table design. Or default DNN skins. You must appreciate CSS skin advantages to table skin as well as appreciating its limitations. However, if you explore the demo skin you will find it behaves very well indeed.
This skin comes with number of great containers to suit the skin, as well as, skin types for various situations requiring different ways of content placements in the page.
Features:
- Each have number of skin types some with 6 panes to place your content in a variety of ways.
- There are 3 colours (blue, green, gray, cream and pink) of skin types provided.
- It comes with number of containers to suit the skin.
- All the relevant html and image source files are added.

Please click here to see our other skins in action. This skin is continuation of my efforts to create alternative designs showing the capabilities of Standard DNN skin technology.
You can ask us to customize this skin and please fill the custom request form at salaro.com and we will quote a price as soon as we study your requirements.
Please note that All SalarO's Skins are HTML rather than ASCX and it allows you to easily change the design if you wish using DreamWeaver/FrontPage. The core builds the ASCX and therefore, it will have better upgrade potential for the next Major release since all you would need to do is to upload the skin and the next version of DNN will build a new ASCX.

Uploading Skin and Containers
Step 1...
Unpack the main zip file on your hard drive and you will see the various skins zips and container zip. Upload the skin zip and container zip to your portal via admin/skins/site one by one We prefer that to the combine skin/container method
Step 2...
Check that the skins and containers are available when you add a page via page functions/settings/advanced settings and set the appropriate container and skin to the page.
Step 3...
You can also set a global skin and container to your site via admin/site settings and only change the skin type or container type when necessary on the page or on the module that requires a different one to the default skin/container..
To Uninstal
- Login as admin if the skin is installed in site and host if it is in host main folder.
- Go to admin/skins or host/skins tabs.
- Choose the skin or container from the drop down list.
- The skin pack will show up and please delete.
- Depending on the version of DNN you are running you may also need to visit the folder with FTP access and delete the empty folder it may leave behind. This is currently not a skin issue and it may be a DNN shortfall in not being able to delete the folder.
Main Features and Browser Compatibility
Features:

I would take it as is and as seen.
