The default skin

This section briefly explains which files are used by the default skin, and how you can edit them.

The default skin uses three files:

  1. default.css: CSS stylesheet that defines the page style. Colors, layout etc. are defined in this file
  2. atom.gif: The logo that appears in the upper left corner of the screen
  3. nucleus2.gif: Nucleus logo

The CSS file default.css contains extra information about how pages are built up by the default skins and templates. Basically, it comes down to three div-containers: .contents, .logo and .menu

To edit the default.css file, you'll need a simple texteditor that does not add extra data, like Notepad (comes with windows),emacs or TextPad. Do not use WordPad, Word, OpenOffice Writer, ... since those add extra markup data.
