Skinning .Text and now CommunityServer (CS)
is not an easy job, it requires an hard work with CSS and (expecially) a big
patience... 
To help everyone performing this task, Jaxon
Rice has done an interesting creation: he has released Developer blog skin for
Community Server 1.1, a skin template that can be used to
start the creation of a CS skin (the picture below is the page layout on
this template).
The layout works in both 800x600 and larger
resolutions and the tool provides the main layout divs with different
background colours, so that designers can easily see where the layout goes and
can easily identify their customizations during the skin
development. There's also a calendar fully stylable with CSS
(provided).
Now skinning will be a little more easy for everyone...
