Almost done. It took more than a few hours :P
Testing Browsers: Firefox 3 and IE6 (both on Linux Ubnutu 8.10)
IE6 on Ubuntu is not quite the same as IE6 on windows.
Pages for checking: site for it's table, changes for it's table.stripe
and main.

What has been done:
- removed html stuff which are outdated
- fixed html stuff like width=200 which should be width="200px"
- removed unused CSS markups which are not used by BoltWire or Layout
- Images are now in their own /images.
- $$actions is shown at least in 1 location, either in top or bottom
of the page or both.
- BoltWire Classes are added. (cut & paste from v2.68 code.style)
- Tables are added to BoltWire Classes (http://boltwire.com/index.php?
p=solutions.css.tables) which work great
- most Skin had a style.css, which are deleted. hope this is not a
problem.

Skins:
Aquatic (minor changes)
Black (minor changes)
Brick Skin
- very old and dirty, instead of fixing it I replaced it.
- looks the same as old one. (I think)
- renamed to brick
Business
- some borders don't show up IE6/Ubuntu, but layout works.
Butterfly (minor changes)
Crisp
- added an empty site.side
Gnome
- Original designer: Jason Murray Cole http://jason-cole.com/
- Downloaded and templated again. Seems like the new one is div only,
while old one contains tables.
Inspire
- http://www.opendesigns.org/preview/?template=18
- Downloaded and templated again.
- added action div, just below logo.
- doesn't render the same under IE6/Ubuntu as FF (original author
mentions this)
Marble
- http://andreasviklund.com/templates/andreas02/
- Renamed to Andreas02
- Downloaded and converted again.
- should be templated to work with Toggle template. (if possible)
Metallica (minor changes)
Paper
- Original Designer: Linly. (@Linly, see my comments below)
Space
- fixed $$search not showing up nice
Valentine
- added an empty site.side
Weightless
- original author: http://www.gatohaus.com/
- fixed to work 1024x768 screen (if smaller $$action is chopped)

@Linly about your Paper design.
- code.skin.paper contains
<link rel='shortcut icon' href='http://localhost/myhome/farm/icons/
SolarWind.ico' />
Change it to <link rel='shortcut icon' href='$$skinpath/images/
SolarWind.ico' />
That should make it absoluty platform/structure independent.
- add .actions from BoltWire Classes to you code.style.paper, so $
$actions shows up nice in [[bottom]] when a user has a default
installation
(if you need a screenshot, let me know)
- on this page: http://boltwire.com/index.php?p=solutions.skins.paper
it's suggested to install ShowHide plugin. ShowHide is superseded by
Toggle plugin. Can you make your skin work with Toggle?
Thanks ;-)


Where should I put the modified skins? Dan, should I email them to
you? or put it somewhere it can be downloaden?
