Invisionboard Skins

[nolageek]

I've imported several new skins into my Invisionboard successfully.

 

How do I actually switch the board over to them?

 

I can;t find any way to "Use suchandsuch skin/theme"

 

They're all listed when I go to "Manage Skins" but how do I use them?

 

Can I make of of my new ones my default?

Go to your admin panel and choose Manage Skin Sets. Click on the edit link for the skin you want to make the default and choose yes for default near the bottom of the page. You can also choose to hide skins from the users if you want them to use only the default skin. I'm not sure how that will affect users who have already chosen a different skin. If I get the chance I will explore it further.

I had a very nice post typed up, and even copied it onto my clipboard before hitting "preview", as it's a habit I've picked up, and yet I still managed to lose it. One of those days

 

nolageek, it's a little unintiutive, so don't feel bad. To make a skin un/available or change the default, you want to "edit it". You're in the right place by going to manage skins, and if you can see that it's successful, then you're seeing the table that contains the word "edit". Follow the link, and it's obvoius from there

 

You can also change all users who are using a specific skin, to a new skin, without making it the default. This option is at the bottom of the "Manage Skins" page. For example, on one site I administrate, we have two skins that are almost identical, but one has larger text than the other. If I was to make a funky new skin, I'd make two versions again (easy fix, just update the css file). I'd move those who are using the regular one to my new one, those who are using the large one to my new large text one, and then reassign the default to the regular one. I might then remove or hide the old skins. If you hide a skin without reassiging the users who have chosen it, they will *still* be able to use that old skin.
