hi guys - sorry for the most stupid of questions

Is it possible to reskin WHM/cPanel to get rid of the frame on the left hand side of the interface?

Thanks guys!

You want the entire left-frame gone in cPanel AND WHM? In WHM, that's like the entire functionality. In cPanel, it's great information. I highly suggest you *don't* do it.

You'd be able to reskin it to have transparent gradients, but you'd have to edit the coding of cPanel in order for it to NOT display the information in cPanel. In WHM, you might be able to just remove the IFrame in the coding and it'd be done.

I HIGHLY suggest you don't do this, as cPanel might not like it. I'd consult with one of their representatives before doing anything like that.

Hope that helps!

Yes, it is, but if you want to reskin, using a 3rd party skin manager, such as rvskin (rvskin.com) might make it much easier to do than trying to figure out cPanel's API directly.

Rvskin can change the look of WHM quite a bit but I don't think it can remove the left hand column at least when logged into admin/reseller panel.

That being said I have seen some pretty amazing rvskin templates for the client side however.

Have these RVSkin templates been for sale? If so, what's the URL... I'm curious for a look.

RVSKIN can be found at http://www.rvskin.com


Well RVSKIN has a plug in called Sitebuilder that can allow clients or admin to build customized templates on the fly more or less.

There are sites out there with template packs google is a great place to find these, the only problem to watch out for is what version of rvskin they were designed with. Some make take some extensive work to impliment.

One site if I recall dedicated to templates was http://www.geesh.com
