Snupin Santa site skins
I've seen a couple of complaints about the default skin on the Snupin Santa Fest archive, namely that the colors are too bright, so I wanted to remind everyone that you CAN change the look of the site whenever you want to.
For those not familiar with sites that use eFiction, a "skin" is basically an interchangeable design for the site as a whole. When you go to the Snupin Santa site, the default skin is called "Snupin Santa", but there are two ways to change what you see.
For a temporary switch:
- go down to the bottom of the page (any page, really, but we'll use the main index for our example)
- look for the drop-down box located in the red bar under where it says "Help", "Rules", and "Contact Us"
- click the box. It will show you 6 different skin options
- click the skin you want to change to, et voila. All done. This will only change the skin for that visit to the site, however.
For a permanent switch:
- register as a user
- log in
- click on "Account Info" in the light green bar at the top of the index page
- click on "Edit Preferences"
- look for where it says "Skin" with a drop-down box beside it
- click on the drop down box and choose the skin you want as your default
- click "submit"
After that, you should see the skin you chose when you visit the site as a logged-in user rather than the default skin for the site.
There are 5 skins to choose from other than the default Snupin Santa skin (click the links to preview what the site would look like with that particular skin):
Cobalt
CSS Zen
Event Horizon
Marauders (which is based on the Marauders Map shown in the film version of PoA)
Zenlike
