One skin, several CSSs. How?

[rlamego]

Hi!
In many CSS based sites I've made before, I've implemented a style selector to allow users to load a different CSS file and thus change the site's "theme".

In vB, and I must say I'm pretty new to it, it seems stupid to duplicate a skin just to have a different CSS applied to it.

Is there a way to have one skin set and several user selectable CSS files? How?

Thanks! =)

in vbulletin there is a style selector
and a template (=html) selector
use it

admincp
styles and templates
styles up or download
and follow the instructions

so you could edit templates or /andcss for so many skins you would like to have

Frage, thanks but you missed the point.

Here's a better example:
- You have just installed vB and it only has the Default Style;
- You want to have a second style on your site, exactly the same as the Default Style but with bigger font sizes;
- Since this implicates no template changes, you could just make a new CSS file to use with the Default Style's templates;
- You want to use the Quick Style Chooser (like the one on this page's bottom left corner) so your members can choose this style.

How can I do this?

Add a new style as a child and define larger font sizes.

Could also change colors

Thanks Zachery! Child styles did the trick just fine =)

Getox: sure! But for "understandability" (wow, did I just invented a new word?) sake I limited my example to a simpler situation.
