Please click here to see the skin in action. 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.
