Creating your own skin

* all illustrations are for "iForum" WebMail skin of Pro version.

To create or modify WebMail skin, create new or modify existing style-sheet file "styles.css".

How skins are stored in WebMail:

Thus, to create new skin, just copy "skins\iForum" folder with all contents to new skin name (for example, "skins\MySkin"), and then modify styles in "skins\MySkin\styless.css" file. You can use any CSS editor for this purpose (such as free TopStyle Lite editor) or any text editor (such as Notepad).

You may also modify images in "skins\MySkin" folder and "menu" subfolder if you want to.

Finally, select new style in "skins" drop-down list in "Administration Panel\Webmail settings" dialog.
