Minimalist II is our three colour CSS Skin Pack for DNN, which proves that a more complex design is also possible with CSS skinning. and this is probably the one of the hardest one we did. It only has a minimum number of tables and highest number of Divs to make up a skin pack that is fast without compromizing the portal capablities. Great pack of Containers too.
Minimalist II is the first skin pack that features our new Flash Module that allows you to manage the images as easily as any other module in DNN. The PA for this GREAT module is provided with this package.
There has been clearly a great need for xhtml compliance in DNN community the last few years, a lot of work has been done in this area. complexities of content & Module placements in have always stopped developers producing packaged skins with good compliance to the XHTML as well as web 2.0 design principles.
There may be some small limitations on DNN content placements for badly formed modules. This situation has improved with DNN 5.x, with much more compatibility now possible in producing these skins than ever before.
Please explore the demo skin you will find it is behaving very well indeed. This skinpack 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. To view the video in full screen

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.
