Skins

In computer terminology, skins, or themes of user interface, are custom graphical appearances used to change the look of software applications. The skins for SiteBuilder are included into the distribution package or you can create own custom skins and upload them to the SiteBuilder administrator's panel.

Through the Remote Admin for SiteBuilder interface, you can perform the following operations on SiteBuilder skins :

Note: You cannot upload new skins to the SiteBuilder panel through the module interface. You can only handle existing skins. To upload a new skin, access the SiteBuilder administration panel and click Skins.

To activate a skin means to make a skin available for selection. Deactivated skins remain installed on SiteBuilder, but they cannot be selected as skins for the SiteBuilder interface. Therefore, to apply a skin, you must first activate it.

To activate/deactivate or delete a skin:

  1. On the Module Management page, click Skins. The Skin Management page opens.

    Skin_man

    This page displays a list of skins installed on the SiteBuilder panel. You can view the status (activated, deactivated) and ID for each skin.

  2. Select the check box corresponding to the skin you want to activate/deactivate. You can select several skins at once.
  3. Click one of the following buttons below the list:

Note: You cannot deactivate or delete the default skin. The default skin is the one labeled as "default" in the ID column. If you deactivate or delete a skin that is currently in use, the default skin will be used instead.
