IP.Board 3.2.0 – Visual Editor Skin
2008
Since the first version of IP.Board, those with a working knowledge of HTML and CSS have been able to alter the appearance of the board to better fit your site.
Over the years, we have made many improvements to the bare system. For only 3.2 we added editing skin distance and modular CSS for easy editing much faster.
Last year, we introduced the skin generator for customers with an active license. This has been a very popular and fast service allows customers to produce a new skin that best suits your site colors. However, we thought we could do better than this tool and do better than our competitors, allowing you to “blind to change the colors of the administration of CP, without seeing the immediate effect it has on the board.
Would not it be much easier to change the colors only while browsing the forum? We thought so.
Introducing the Visual skin
This innovative new feature lets you change the colors of the board since the board itself! No need to know CSS, or even to remember the hex codes and not have to blindly edit CSS classes with strange names of the Admin CP.
Live demonstration
Because this function is best demonstrated, I recorded a video in which I make a new skin red with issues in five minutes with this new feature.
The caveat always applies: this is a work in progress and has some rough edges to be smoothed before release.
