Hi,

A client has asked me to edit a skin using the provided skin files. He doesn't want to change the structure of the skin, just the colours really.

I found what I thought was the master psd file which all I had to do was edit in photoshop, then using the guides that already existed on the master psd file, slice up the amended psd file.

However, when I saved for web, slicing the whole layout in to giffs, I ended up with 164 individual gifs, whereas when I compared that new images folder with the existing one - the existing folder had only 62 individual giffs.

Obviously too many guides on the psd I'm working on.

Can anyone tell me which are the files I should be working on please. Or maybe where I'm going wrong.

Thanks, Jo

To be honest I'm staggered when you say:

"If the original skin is HTML type, your job is fairly easy as you need to open it in dreamweaver and change what is necessary and upload again"

My task is to aplly a re-design to the existing structure. I'm beginning to feel that that's impossible.

I've never seen so many spacer gifs in my life and soooooo many nested tables. To be frank, the skin seems a complete mess to me and it's just a right tangled knot to sort out.

After producing sites using stylesheets and no tables, this just seems so retrogressive.

I'm not sure on what's so good about DNN!

Am I missing something?

 Beyond what Timo said. I think you are an advanced developer that gets the new table less approach. Your skin must be an old type from the days. Currently newer skins are mainly Div only with no use of tables. I would therefore Recommend you re-build the skin without using tables. Use the skin tokens that you see in the original skin where necessary in your new html file.
