In the spirit of providing more documentation to our customers and developer community, we put together two PDF documents and an example style. The first is "vB4: Skinning Your Forum in 10 Easy Steps." This is a step-by-step guide on how to customize the main areas of your vB4 Forum.

The second document is the vB4 StyleVar Visual Dictionary. The StyleVar (style variable) Dictionary is more of a complementary reference guide aimed at understanding how and where to use each StyleVar for advanced customization. As we finalize the product, I will continue to provide updated versions of these two docs.

Finally, I also included a zip file, "Wave 1.zip" that includes:
1. Image files used in this vB4: Skinning doc.
2. wave-style.xml - if you want to install this new style.
3. install.rtf - instructions on how to install wave-style.

We are currently writing similar documents for customizing the new CMS. Stay tuned.

I hope these documents are helpful and I welcome suggestions.

Cheers,

Don
