Hi,
App_MasterPages and App_DesignTimeStyle is stuff that tries to give some reasonable view when working in the Visual Studio designer but it does not match the site skin because that is determined at runtime. You should not touch those folders and files in the course of making a custom skin.
You should read all the skinning documentation to learn how to create skins and the reasons for the different folders under /Data
Hope it helps,
Joe
These things are explained in the documentation. I'm sorry if you can't find what you are looking for or cannot comprehend it. You should read all of the documentation under Creating Skins very carefully.
Hi jezzy.kiss,
like Joe says, documentation of Mojo skinning is pretty clear. I'm doing it right now following the guide lines here. Also this post is very useful.
Hope it helps
I think what you are doing wrong is working with the skins from the /Data/skins folder. That is just the library of skins. mojo supports hosting multiple sites so when a site is created (including the first site) the skins are copied from the library to a site specific skin folder. This is in the documentation as Joe said.
This is from the documentation:
"The skin folder is stored in the /Data/sites/(SiteID)/skins folder. This keeps skins separate for each site in a multi site installation. When new sites are created the default set of skins from
/Data/skins
is copied to
/Data/Sites/[new site id]/skins Any custom skins added later only need to be added to the site specific skin folder unless you want to share them with other sites."
So you need to look in the /Data/Sites/1/skins/ folder.
