sirius Some of you might already knew this skins. No I didn't made this. duchoangle made it few months ago and announce it in DotNetNuke forums.

I like this skin because it looks cool, and few containers. It also has several skin layout, but mostly I used 3 columns. But one thing I dislike from this skin is the Solpart menu it uses. Somehow I don't like Solpart because it's not pure HTML. It uses Javascript to show the popup. If you try it, you can't open the link in new tabs/window.

Anyway, you can download the skin here.

Hi, this would be my first of many skins to come (hopefully).
I needed to skin DotNetNuke to make it interesting for the end-user for my project, and of course, make it less-DNN (less technical for end-users).

I choose Garland because I like the blue colours combination along with some transparent header section in the middle.
I also managed to implement similar menu style, with hover menu using HouseMenu.

However, there might be something that most of you won't like. I removed the search control, because for my project, I don't need one. But if any of you want it, you can just contact me and maybe I'll post another version of it.

Installation
First, you need to download HouseMenu from House of Nuke. This skin, especially the menu, depends on it.
After that, download the skin file from here.
The file contains both skin and container. Install each of them separately into your DNN.

I welcome any comments or suggestion =) Especially for the container, because I'm not quite satisfied with the container and the action menu. In this container, I used DNNDropDownNavigationProvider. I wanted to use Solpart or other popup menu, however there's something with the CSS that makes the popup menu position to miss quite far.
