Nice looking skin! Thanks! I wasn't sure if you wanted the ads for the web host or not. I took them out.

# re: Cogitation Skin for .Text 0.95 2/16/2004 9:02 AM OOPS. I will remove the ad from the download.
I posted it late last night with only one-eye open :). I will remove the ads from the download. Thanks for the feedback.

Yes very nice... BUT links and black bar on right of links are jumping slightly on Netscape for small number of links. Just thought I'd let you know...

A pretty skin.

But add what line? I can't find the "following line":-(

# re: Cogitation Blue skin for .Text version 0.95 3/5/2004 8:12 AM Mark Wagner
I corrected my post to show the line of code to add the the Skins.config file. The html swollowed it up. Here it is.
<SKINTEMPLATE SkinID="Cogitation" Skin="Cogitation" />

# re: Cogitation Blue skin for .Text version 0.95 3/5/2004 11:26 AM Jeff Overstreet
Thanks for the great skin. It's awesome.

# re: Cogitation Blue skin for .Text version 0.95 3/9/2004 10:23 AM Jemm
Very cool skin!

I took some liberties in my blog to change fonts into scalable (em) and added underlines to links. Just in sake of usability.

I hope you don't mind...

Thanks!

# re: Cogitation Blue skin for .Text version 0.95 3/9/2004 3:13 PM Mark Wagner
Not a problem at all. I have been wanting to do the same myself. I just have not gotten around to it.

Re: Linus Hung

I removed the WebHost4Life image and link from the download a while back. I believe I just commented it out. You need to make sure you have the WebHosting.gif (or whatever image you like) in the images folder. I am guessing at this time. If you reply back and leave a link to your site I can better understand what may be happening.

I am using your Cognition Blue skin oon our blog site. It looks terrific. One thing though, Is there a way to not have to copy the xmlsmall.gif file?

# re: Cogitation Blue skin for .Text version 0.95 - Updated as of 2004.05.06 5/13/2004 7:49 PM Derik J. Palacino
Great skin, I might modify it a little if you don't mind.

The pink, green and brown css variants are very nice too. The only problem I have is the BrownTabRight.gif is missing, so I can't use the brown one. Did I loose it, or was it missing in the download?

# re: Cogitation Blue skin for .Text version 0.95 - Updated as of 2004.05.06 6/26/2004 6:45 PM Mark Wagner
Oops! My mistake. The pink, green and brown color schemes were never really completed. I guess I didn't realize I had deployed them in the package. Sorry. :)

Great skin! Not sure if its just me though, but I have this "phantom" black line on my 1st post that disappears if I highlight it.

# re: Cogitation Blue skin for .Text version 0.95 - Updated as of 2004.05.06 9/2/2004 4:16 PM jayson knight
awesome skin, been using it for a while now but had to redo my blog recently...and now the xml images aren't displaying properly (copied the xmlsmall.gif to the root, but on looking at the html, it's looking in the images folder of the cogitation directory). any pointers? please contact me directly via my blog.

thanks!

# re: Cogitation Blue skin for .Text version 0.95 - Updated as of 2004.05.06 9/2/2004 4:19 PM jayson knight
my bad, it is looking in the root, which is where i have the gif copied to. thanks again.

Excellent skin! A few things? When you add something to the left bar that is bigger than what it is already, it shifts over correctly but the main section goes under. Not a flowing design?

Second, the Remember me check box state is never saved.. but the data for the fields are... Is this a skin control deal or a base control bug?

Great looking skin, but I get the following error:

Could not load type 'Dottext.Web.UI.Controls.MyLinks'.

Any idea what causes this? -Thanks!
