Given that this product is no longer available or supported the next question is what can/do we use to replace it?

Does anyone know of a product with similar functionality?

 Check out the vendor Dr. Nuke - they have a couple of skin packages called Flex 2 and Catalyst 2 with a module called "EasyMod" that I am using on a couple of sites.  I doesn't quite have the same level of granular control that Skin Lab offered, but it's very close.

Here's a link to the Catalyst 2 with Easy Mod skin package.

More importantly, Dr. Nuke has been part of the DotNetNuke community for a long time and they have an impeccable reputation.  

I made the mistake of investing in the enterprise license for Morpheus ($1,000) and now it's not worth the paper the license is printed on.

Support has always been very spotty from NukeVille and I suspect the end is near for this company if they won't even respond to emails.

This is why DNN needs a certification system for software. Weed out the chaff and drive decent prices for software that allows a software company to be profitable.

 I very much agree that a certification system for modules would be nice.

Meanwhile, what some people are not aware of with Morpheus is the main problem with the package is the SkinLab module.  Starting with DotNetNuke 6.x it did not work properly, but there was an update issued by Nukeville that addressed the problem.  In fact, I have a DotNetNuke installation with the very latest version running with SkinLab and Morpheus now and it does seem to work.

The original version of SkinLab is 1.02

The updated version is 1.08

If you still have your original distribution from when you purchased the skin, you should be able to download the updated package.  To make sure you have the updated version, once you have downloaded the file, open the Zip file for the Skin Lab module and look for the file called Nukeville.Skinlab.dnn and open this with notepad.

You will see this code at the top of the file - note the second line where the module version is stated:

<dotnetnuke type="Package" version="5.0">
  <packages><package name="Nukeville.SkinLab" type="Module" version="1.0.8">
  <friendlyName>Nukeville SkinLab</friendlyName>
