I updated some documentstion and started a Skinning related codeplex project.

Here's an overview;

1. DNN 5 Skin Object Documentation updated
The Skin Object documentation has been updated, it can be downloaded here:
DNN 5 Skin Object Tables

2. Codeplex Project
I started a codeplex project to publish some skin objects and example skins: http://dnnskinobjects.codeplex.com/

Currently there are 2 Skin Objects and one Skin.

Current skin Objects:
-IeCompatibilityMode: Allows you to set the Internet Explorer Compatibility Mode
This is useful for skins that have issues in IE8, for instance because of Solpart or an older version on the DnnMenu.
This skin object allows you to force an existing skin to render in IE8 as if it was IE7.
(It's best not to use Solpart anymore in your skins it's legacy and not developed anymore)

-UnLoadCss: Will remove one or more of the links to CSS files the framework loads by default.
This means you don't have to modify the core to remove default.css or any of the other CSS files, you can do it from the skin.
It also allows you to not load the CSS that comes with a module by default (module.css)

Current Skins
-Inline Framework Attributes example skin.
This skin shows you some of the DNN Framework data you can use in your skins (just like you can use )

Some of the examples are:

Page Description =
Page Link =
Page Name =
Page Title =
etc.

I hope this helps the DotNetNuke skinning community
