Im interested in designing cpanel skins, is there any resource I can use to learn how its created? or is there any licensing that I should be aware of?

I downloaded a skin from my dedicated box, but don't know how your suppose to view it..

sorry if this is a stupid question. no excuses for the dumb question, im just not educated. :blush:

Nah.. Just download one of the default skins .. Bluelagoon, etc and explore from there. Theres no guide available for this. So you're on your own. I took my own time, bout 2 weeks to complete my skin

sidez is right, that is how i learnt. I just keep digging through each section till i learned it all and understood what each command did, then I went and found out more commands till i knew about all of them. But it takes awhile to do one really. So take your time and enjoy.

I downloaded the advanced themeball..but theres nothing in there..how you suppose to view it?

play around with bluelagoon. view it with notepad or a html viewer if you want. I do all my coding via ssh since i like to see it live. But to just play with it open it in one of those.

is the bluelagoon free? I don't have it on my server...If its free.can you send me a copy so i can play around with it?

Actually its best to download the default theme since bluelagoon symlinks a bunch of files from the default.
