I'm not sure if I'm missing the point of admin skins or not...

I've created a site that places the content area in a DIV that calls for a fixed height and width.  It's pretty, and everything is fine...

However, when I log into the admin area, certain elements (like the HTML editor) require massive scrolling.  Annoying!

So my solution is to use the regular DNN Blue skin as my admin skin, and use my pretty skin for regular users.  However, I seem unable to do this.  Whenever I try to change the skin for just the admin portal, DNN applies the skin to the regular portal as well.

Am I doing something wrong, or do I completely misunderstand the concept of the admin skin feature?

...If so, are there any other ways to "override" my height and width div tags ONLY when in admin mode?

Thanks!

I am sure I'm missing the point of having an admin skin!

Is it so that I know:

1. I am working in an admin only page or module when I see a different skin.
2. I am logged into an admin account when I see a different skin.
3. Some totally different reason.
