New Skin, New CS

I’ve finally got that new Community Server skin more or less completed, as should be painfully obvious if you’d seen the old one. I did things a little bit differently this time (but not much), and did a few things that would not have been possible without some digging around in the CS SDK. If you’re not familiar, the SDK is simply the CS source code. Being a relatively new ASP.NET developer myself, I found it to be really quite interesting the way that they went about developing their framework. Perhaps later I’ll give a tour of that and some of the more complicated things that went into this skin.

I’ve also gone ahead and upgraded to the Community Server 2.1 beta, which was released while I was still working on the new skin. I stuck with the ASP.NET 1.1 version this time, because I’m not 100% certain that the medium trust issue has been resolved, and ASPnix would rather that we keep off of the ASP.NET 2.0 version until it has been. It’s not a big deal, except that I do want to slip some .NET 2.0 code in behind the scenes.

[Update]
Holy busted layout, Batman! I should really check this thing in Internet Explorer before I upload it. I guess that's what I get for sticking to the better browser.
