I actually made a duplicate skin last night using the two column left menu 
option 
at http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/ultimate-multi-column-liquid-layouts-em-and-pixel-widths

I then changed everything...  :)

I'll work on recreating it tonight and posting a link or something.

Start a thread talking about skins.



I think you (or someone, maybe even me) should create a skin that

duplicates the original format.  It took a while to figure out how to

create a new one from scratch so that I could just plug it in and use

it.



Most of the existing skins were too radical of change for starting out

so I wanted to start with the original skin so I could understand how

it worked.



That then gives someone a play box to experiment with using the

original look and feel.  If they don't like where it is going, they

could turn the skin off and be back where they started.  They could

even remove the other skin completely.



My original sin with the system was that when I started I didn't know

how stuff worked, so I actually changed some code directly in the farm/

barn areas outside of the system which is one of the reasons why I am

thinking now of doing a fresh install and just moving over the the

pages I did and work the system as I should have been from the

beginning.



In some cases, I don't know what I tinkered with.



Most of the forums work in that you can make a copy of an existing

theme which is then installed.  That lets you play with it without

messing up the original.  I know the concept is different because in

this system, you can undo the changes... the caching takes a little

getting used to.
