The aim of the guide for this wizard is to give a look at the work that dave has put in to the themes. There are lots of different looks, using different skins. He has adapted those skins to give different looks and feel to them. He has a vast knowledge of the inner mechanics of the xml’s and the skin design.
Ok. Let’s get on and have a look at this Repository and how to get it on your system.
