    MindTouch has a number of themes available for those of you who want to develop a customized look & feel.  Before you start skinning MindTouch we recommend that you select an appropriate theme as each offers unique benefits designed for various levels of expertise.

    Themes

    Beech (recommended for full site customization)

    ALL BLACK BACKGROUND ---VISUAL APPEARANCE FOR MY WIK.IS:
    Is there a simple way to change everything to black? Close as
    I've come with [very little personal CSS knowledge ] is to make a table 100%
    and use the provided template of fiesta>smoky ocean [ dark grey to light
    grey] for the full screen background.

    Even with the table at 100% I still get 50 pixel wide full page all white
    edges on both sides of the content going up against the fading grey background.
    What I am after is the all black look that is popular with foto/video sites and
    is also the main background color of the flickr slideshow.

    Is there a simple way to get a fiesta template that would let you pick a background color?

    Is there a snippet of CSS code to change the white default background on the page edit space to a different color?

    It would be great if you could demo skinning maybe via video or a guide.
    I have been trying to edit my own theme and failing and thought it would be handy to have instructions or a walkthrough.
    This guide:
    http://developer.mindtouch.com/en/docs/MindTouch/Skinning/Beech/Step_By_Step_Tutorial_to_Skin_MindTouch_with_Beech
    Doesn't seem to work for me.

    It appears to this newbie that skins ot only apply look & feel, but features such as Javascript and PHP control. As such I suggest the first discussion identify what a skin is and ho it interacts with page content Then each skin should be categorized based on the features it enables. If I want Javascript, is Beech my only option or does Deuce also support it?
