| Figured since a few of us are obviously digging into the CSS and master pages that we should get going on chatting about it. I just created my first real skin for 4 (RC1) and while its still being tweaked as I find things its not too bad and my users like it. The basis was using Federal Standard Colors for military to create an ARMY Green version as the default. 
My intention is to create service oriented ones for Air Force, Marines and Navy... maybe even a desert version of course. Makes for a good selling point since only paid subscribers can change the skins so having a few available is a nice selling point.

| Here is a crappy screenshot of my first skin. I will also be creating more, for different forums within my board.

| Hey Bare... when you hit PRINT on a topic, do some of your skin changes come in? I figured there would be a default css for printing (simple black and white type) that we wouldnt even mess with but Im getting backgrounds and things from my skin css. Bug?

Well, I never tried printing until right now  When I print a topic... I get my table borders, from my wrapper, but I'm not getting any background colors or table cell graphics... Just black and white, with the standard buttons and avatars (etc.)

| Hey Ryan, Maybe in the future there should be a PRINT.css file in the skin, Im sure most of the time we'd never touch it but keeping it separate would be great.

IMO a default print skin is almost a requirement. They're just far too valuable since browsers and printers never get along that well.

 So far so good for me. Haven't tested the printing thing yet either. Been a fun integration, picked up a couple .net tricks from Ryan and Co. as well. Very happy with everything so far.
