More Skinning Choices Coming

May 31 2003, 07:48 PM · Recovered body

June and July will bring a variety of new features and tools that should help make InvisionFree more customizable and give you, the admin, more control. Our goal is to cut the number of features a full IPB has that InvisionFree doesn't down to nearly zero and add other features an IPB does not have.

Skinning will see a vast improvement with the follow as just some of what you can expect:


[*]Multiple Custom Skins: you can make more than one set of CSS/images/wrappers.

[*]Customizable wrappers (headers and footers) for the pre-installed skins.

[*]More pre-installed skins.

[*]A new, easy to use CSS editor. No knowledge of CSS required.

[*]Widget Maker: a toolset that lets you add pre-built widgets to your wrapper. Widgets vary from scrolling text to dropdown menus to announcement boxes.

[*]Skin Control Panel:
- See how many members are using each skins.
- Choose a default skin for each group or for the board.
- Disable certain skins from use.
- Reset a custom skin to the default code (If you ever make a coding mistake).

[*]And maybe even fully editable layouts.

This should take many parts of skinning beyond what an IPB will offer. :)
