It could be a 4 hour afternoon session around the dev summit for instance and could be advertised so anyone can join. Essentially it would be a hackathon focused on skins. If you were really ambitious you'd add prizes for best judged skin etc :) On 30 Sep 2015 12:49 pm, "Isarra Yos"

How would a hack day/afternoon work? Is that an office thing? If so, would that be something you could run based off... uh, more information? On 28/09/15 22:15, Jon Robson wrote: I'd be interested in the process people go through purely from a how can I make this simpler perspective.

I would like to see a wiki page or to watch a video that I could use as a guide to make a new skin - a task that I am postponing since long as "too complex for now". Purodha On 28.09.2015 23:00, Isarra Yos wrote: Jack Phoenix and I were considering doing a tech talk about how to make a

I'd be interested in the process people go through purely from a how can I make this simpler perspective. Alternatively you might want to consider doing a skin hack day/afternoon where people build skins and learn for themselves the horror of that process :) On Mon, Sep 28, 2015 at 3:08 PM,

I would be interested as well! I tried making a custom theme based off vector a few years ago but it seemed like quite a bit of effort to build something comprehensive that anyone would actually want to replace the default with. I'd love a guided tour! --stephen On Mon, Sep 28, 2015 at 4:15 PM,
