SkinWidgets

I have not yet released a DNN 3.x-compatible version of my SkinWidgets suite. This is because my vision for this suite exceeds my current ability to do it justice. Ultimately, I want to merge SkinWidgets, Skinergy and a few other skin-related goodies I have as the ultimate skinning toolbox for DotNetNuke along with a large number of high-end skins created by professional graphic designers.

My idea of skins is a little different from most skins found in the DNN realm, so I want to clarify. For me, a skin should be more than just a visual layer for a DNN portal. I think skins should have a personality and the necessary bits to fully support that personality. For instance, if the skin is for a teen portal, it should not only have graphics that appeal to such an audience, but also widgets, doodads, etc. that instantly give the portal U.I. elements that fit the usability requirements of that audience.

Since it will take some time to work on this, I have prepared a DNN3 compatibility release of SkinWidgets. Existing customers can obtain it by emailing support at speerio dot net. It’s the same as the DNN2 package except that it works on DNN3.
