Please help.

Where can one find more information on the Xcillion DNN theme?

Please advise.

I need to set/change the page's layout at-will in DNN Platform 8.0.3 now.

There are many different Xcillion options, and I would like to find some descriptions of each.

For "Page Theme" and "Page Container" I have the following Xcillion options...

Xcillion - 404
Xcillion - Boxed
Xcillion - NoTitle
Xcillion - Title_h2_centered
Xcillion - Title_h2_circles
Xcillion - Title_h2_elegant
Xcillion - Title_h2_heaxagon
Xcillion - Title_h2_open_rectangle
Xcillion - Title_h2_rectangle
Xcillion - Title_h2_slashed
Xcillion - Title_h3
Xcillion - Title_h3_centered
Xcillion - Title_h4
Xcillion - Title_h4_centered

What is the general idea here in these naming conventions?

What if I want to have something that I can set at-will, per page?

For this example, suppose that I have 2 modules on PageX, a RazorModule on the lhs and an HtmlModule on the rhs. Suppose that for today I want to have PageX body I want to have a "2 column layout with lhs 75% and rhs 25%". But then I change my mind tomorrow and I want to have "2 column layout with lhs 50% and rhs 50%". What is the DNN prescribed way to do that? Setup my own Bootstrap column-divs? Or, do I change the PageTheme? Or, do I do it some other way?

I know I "can" do it in many different ways, but which was makes it easy/fast/simple to change the page layout at-will?

I know, I know, "read the manual", and I am trying to do that but I need to "find the RIGHT manual" so I need help with that, and I am also trying to get some quick sage advice if there is any around to help me save time, etc.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Most of the items in your list appear to be containers, not theme (skin) files. It looks like the container files are named for whether or not they display the module title, and some details of how those titles are styled.

If you look at a DNN installation with Xcillion installed, the theme files are the ascx files in the skins/Xcillion directory.


Don't worry about reading the manual, as I don't believe that there is one for Xcillion.

If you do want to look at a theme/skin that is reasonally well documents, take a look at one of Geoff Barlow's recent themes. The themes are open source, free, and available in the DNN Store.
