I'm happy to report that we've made our 2nd contribution to b2evolution (even though the first hasn't even rolled onto the "donor page". The donations WERE recently updated through Jan 21st, or some such date. It seems, that the FG is running a tad behind with things ... like the BETA release! :|

Our second donation came from the hard work that one of our contributors, Danny Ferguson (AKA PersonPerson), did on an astonishing skin for a picky customer "Tejas". The skin is deployed at Software and Tools. (Sad to see that he's alread broken the bloody thing, with pics that are too large & posts that aren't XHTML valid). And in the <title> tag, an "&" that should be a "&amp;"?

Our motto: We make 'em, you break 'em

Danny put a lot of hard work into the skin and it SHOWS. This is a great skin. GREAT job Danny!!

We look forward to his write up on it, which will be featured on our "portfolio" section. We also look forward to showcasing the skin and making it available to our members first, then after 60 days, to the b2evolution crowd in general.

There are a couple of minor browser problems that maybe we can resolve?

1. Opera doesn't like the collapsible categories JS code
2. MS won't allow a "main body swipe of text" with the CSS rollover

Now that the stunned monkey is off our back for delivery, maybe we can take our time and find solutions to these, so the skin behaves the same across the browser field.
