# Nucleus CMS 3.4 - default skin

Default Nucleus CMS 3.2 skin based on the Stanch skin contributed by Stanch with assistance from roel.

Default skin's skin/templates/includes tweaked by hcgtv, CSS color scheme by moraes.

This skin has been tested on major modern browsers, such as Firefox 1.0, Internet Explorer 6.0, Opera 7.54 and Netscape 7.2. The skin is coded using valid XHTML 1.0 and valid CSS.

If you want drop shadow effect for your images when you blog, you have to add 3 div's surrounding the image. Start with <div class="wrap1">, followed by <div class="wrap2">, and then <div class="wrap3">. Remember to close them with </div></div></div>. Please note also that the drop shadow has float:left style applied to it.

On the comments page, you will notice that the owner (Nucleus administrator) has a different kind of styling to his/her comments, as opposed to the comments made by visitors. This is made possible using CSS. I have included short comments in the CSS file, I'm sure it is easy to understand, in case you want to remove this styling or you want to add styling for different members.

Default skin files:

default_left.css - left side menu CSS code, change it in head.inc

default_right.css - right side menu CSS code, default CSS in head.inc

skinbackup.xml - backup of default skin, can be reimported just in case

/images - background, header, footer and misc images

This skin makes use of includes for skin abstraction:

head.inc - html header

navigation.inc - navigation & page titles

header.inc - page header

sidebar.inc - page menu

footer.inc - page footer

Extra files:

nicetitles.js - tooltips javascript code, triggered by title="" attribute in links

nicetitle.css - tooltips color and layout code

favicon.ico - sample favorite icon, copy to site's root directory

The NP_SkinFiles plugin is recommended for maintenance of includes.

Note: chmod 666 the .inc files in the /skins/default directory.
