Hi, totally newbie here. Hopefully someone is willing to help.

I think I finally understand how to make my skin.html and my skin.css. The part I don't get is how do you make the "content panes" show up as boxes that you can insert modules to in DNN?

I am thinking it is by using the object model in the skin.xml file, but the DNN Blue .xml file only has objects for the BREADCRUMB token and TREEVIEW. Do I need to include all that in my XML file if I want breadcrumbs? And do I need to have a class style in my CSS to format the regular tokens, or is their a default that I can live with?

So do I do it (make the content pane containers show up) something like this?

HTML:
<div ID="leftpane" runat="server" class="contentpane">[LEFTPANE]</div>

CSS:
#leftpane {
   /* my attributes etc. */
   }

XML:
<Objects>
  <Object>
    <Token>LEFTPANE</Token>
  </Object>
</Objects>

Tell me if I'm on the right track here please someone?

~Thank you! ~Bee

I finally figured out how to "inject" a container into my html page. I tried doing it the way it says in the .pdf instructions and it did not work. Why does everyone keep referring me to that? If you try naming your containers like tokens and putting "<td>[CONTAINER]</td> "and "<td>[CONTAINER:1]</td> and then add them as objects into the xml file, it doesn't work that way. It was a major "down the rabbit hole" experience for me, and I can't understand why everyone acts like I would find all the answers in that pdf. All that thing did for me was make me spend alot of time doing it wrong. Have you guys that keep sending people over to that document actually tried looking at it lately?

I don't mean to sound totally critical because I know you guys work hard and give alot of your time to helping people like me and I DO really appreciate it. I just don't have enough time to spend on looking at instructions that are totally nothing like how you actually do it.

Now, on the other hand, that Appendix B: Skin Objects part might actually be useful to me if there were any real instructions in there on how to apply it to my codes. As it is, it is pretty meaningless to me right now.

Thank you again for taking time to try to help me!
