The Basics - Themes

Themes, also known as skins in some other applications you may use, control the look and feel of your site. If you would like the color of your site to change, then can change it in the theme. All these files are kept in the themes folder and are easy to edit with your favorite HTML editor.

A number of core themes are packaged with PostNuke, but if these are not what you are looking for there are hundreds of themes available from the Themes Database∞.

To install a new theme, upload the theme files to the themes directory, and change the theme in the settings area of the administration panel.

Most problems with themes can be fixed by reverting to a default theme. A tool is provided to help with this and other problems, which can result in webmasters being locked out of their sites. The PostNuke Swiss Army Knife, can be downloaded from Official PostNuke downloads section∞, can be used for this.

The Xanthia module also known as the themes module, is distributed with PostNuke and allows for increased customization of themes. For more information on the module, please read the Xanthia section.
