Skins
The PrintShop Mail Web web site is fully skinnable. A skin is a series of files that control the presentation of the web site. Every-
thing except the actual textual content of the page can - and will - vary from skin to skin. To allow PrintShop Mail Web to be
skinnable, style is completely separated from contents. The web page use standard HTML elements, user defined classes and
unique IDs. The style information is stored in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) documents, allowing the styles to be changed
and manage the styles without the need to change the source code.
Skins can be applied to the default website as well as to each individual companies in PrintShop Mail Web but they cannot be
chosen directly by the user.
To install a skin:
1. Extract the skin's ZIPfile into a temporary folder
2. Copy the skin's folder
3. Paste the skin's folder into the following location:C:\Program Files\Printshop Mail Suite 7\PrintShop Mail Web\We-
bsite\templates
The location of the PrintShop Mail Suite installation being customizable, it may be different on your system.
To learn how to create your own skin, please refer to "Skinning Guide" (page 209).
