   I have two questions about the Persuasion theme and skins selections. While I'm able to demo several featured variations (e.g. grunge, panoramic) I do not see the option to use them in the list of available skins in the Persuasion control panel. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

   Part two - I see all the color variations in a separate demo section than the featured variations. Is it an enormous amount of work (or just a few lines of code) to utilize a featured variation but with another color scheme?

   Many thanks!

   Hi,

   Those skins that you are talking about are not included by default in the theme package. You have to download and install them yourself. For example, you can download the panoramic skin from this page: http://mysitemyway.com/skins/custom-skins/panoramic-07/

   The instructions on how to upload the extra skins can be found here: http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php?title=Uploading_and_Downloading_Skins

   Now, in this section of the documentation you will find everything you need to know about editing or creating skins: http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php/Customization

   Excellent - part one is very clear now - thanks for pointing me in the proper direction. Part two might be a little more work, but hopefully is manageable. Many thanks! Resolved.

   P.S. To all who are reading this regarding themes, it is indeed very simple to change the entire color scheme of a featured variation. The "color picker" for the scheme is the very first item under the "edit skin" selection, and you need go no further than simply selecting a new color and having it completely applied across the entire theme. Straightforward and simple. No advanced knowledge or css required.
