    How do people do it? I know i can go in and edit every graphics file and the settings colors, but it seems there is an easier way, do people use some kind of program to create the style and then break it down into the different folders ect?

    Like in dreamweaver you make a site the slice it and save, and it saves in needed folders that talk to eachother?

    I really could use any advice in regards to this as i need to fully customize a site i have and it doesnt make money yet so i cant justify the expense of paying someone, plus like they say learn how to fish and you wont be hungry, lol

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    What i do is...

    1. Copy default skin.
    2. Make default skin file (so now you should have another default skin with the name you want to call your skin)
    3. design on photoshop and then slice the images i need for the skin.
    4. Add my own CSS with the Advanced CSS and then edit the templates i need too to create the skin i designed.
    5. update any old images on the default skin with new ones (buttons, icons etc.)

    Then your done :)
