I'm so close to creating my own custom container.  I've created a photoshop design and it's all programmed in HTML with the style sheet I want.  Now, I just need to do the voodoo to make it talk to DNN. 

(My container has a faded out yellow daisy as a background image -- hence the style names.)

In my container, I've created a table like this where:

Row 1 = Title
Row 2= ContentPane
Row 3 = (Is this where I put SOLPARTACTIONS?)

I don't need Visibility and I don't need the Print.  Just need the little Container menu that pops up. 

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td class="YellowDaisyTitle">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td runat="server" id="contentpane" class="YellowDaisyText">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>

I understand I need SOLPARTACTIONS, but I don't understand if I use a token, or if I need to create a separate XML file. 

Thanks from a newbie.

Perhaps not a very interesting question since I got no replies.  Most of a day spent pouring over code, documentation and tutorials and I figured it out. 

As a graphic designer with no understanding of .net or XML or ASCX, I'm finding even the simplest things to be painful.  

Ah, well, I'm happy with my container.

Heya, to add the dropdown menu with settings add this code to the appropriate place in your html

<dnn:ACTIONS runat="server" id="dnnACTIONS" />

And then add this to the top of your page

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONS" Src="~/Admin/Containers/SolPartActions.ascx" %>

And that should work!

... the easiest way to make a container skin is to work from an existing template, copy DNNBlue files into your new folder and use that as a base just start making the changes you need and removing the buttons that you dont want - print etc.
