How can I add more skins?

NetSeeker's skin is made of CSS. Therefore, you can create your own style sheet if you know how. However, you are not adviced to do so if you are not familiar with HTML and CSS.

How do I create my own skin?

If you know CSS, it will be very easy for you.

  1. First, created your own CSS file (any name but must end with .css extension). It is best if you refer to default style sheet when you are creating it.
  2. Next, create a folder (any name) in "skins" folder and keep it there.
  3. After that, you need to modify "sidebar.htm" (located in "files" folder).
  4. Find this line (located almost on top of the page) <link rel="stylesheet" href="../skins/default/default.css"> (there are two, find the one at the bottom) and add the path to your skin right above it.
  5. Finally, append this line <option>Your skin name</option> to <select name="skin" onChange="JavaScript:changeSheets(this.options.selectedIndex)" class="menu"> (located almost at the end of the page).
Confuse? Just wait for next version to release.
