Second Skin of 10 Implemented - Graformix Orange

I've completed the second skin of my 10 skin campaign, graformix-orange, which can be seen on demo.mojoportal.com. Of course since its a public demo site, someone may come along and change it, but you can change it back or checkout the different skins by (key icon) Administration Menu > Site Settings.

This will be available in svn trunk later today for developers and will be in the next release of mojoPortal for everyone else.

I've also renamed the existing skins to reference the name of the designer in the format desingername-designname. This makes it clearer as the skins are sorted by designer name. So for example, ticktockpro is now dcarter-ticktockpro, and others by dcarter have also been renamed like dcarter-orangesunset, dcarter-bluespring, dcarter-businessone, dcarter-sq2, and so on. techmania is now styleshout-techmania, and I plan to implement styleshout-citrusisland and styleshout-stylevantage as part of the 10 skins I'm making.

I'm not doing the styleshout skins next though, the next design I'm going to work with is mitchinson-earthy. My main reason for choosing this one is the horizontal menu with flyout sub menus. We have very few skins with this kind of menu and many it seems with tabs. Since my goal is to have skins that form a good starting point for customization, I think its important to get as much diversity as we can. I'm also planning to do mitchinson-business3, just because it seems a simple yet professional design and even the stock photo in the header looks good enough to be usable for a real site.

Gravatar Joe Audette is the founder of the mojoPortal project and was the primary developer until February 2017.

Very pretty Joe.

If you edit page settings for a page not off the root there's a formatting problem that means you can't see any setting. Strange as this doesn't happen for the top level pages?

If you look on the demo you can see this (some of the sub-pages off the 'New Page', like 'New Page2'. BTW, this is only a problem on IE7 (not firefox!).

Another small glitch (centre right hand side borders modules) can be seen on 'New Page2'. This happens in both firefox and IE7

Thanks again for a great product.

Hi Allister,

I did a little more tweaking on the css for the demo site. I think I solved some issues you mentioned, but I was not able to see the problem about page settings not being visible in IE7. I click the gear icon for any page and I do see the settings.

Best,

Joe
