well maxwebportal done a very good skinning system using CSS.
How ever theres little chance of using that with their new idea's.

Their system could change redesign snitz with just editing about 10-12 gif's and knowing a little about CSS.

I managed to find a link to download asp template - http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=28257

I'm going to have a look through it to see what the possibilities are.

Just to show what's possible, here's something I've been working on for a while with ASP Template.

Fully skinned forum.
http://www.snitzhcd.com/dev/default.asp

Some of the files the default skin is derived from.
http://www.snitzhcd.com/dev/templates/default/1033/header.html
http://www.snitzhcd.com/dev/templates/default/1033/default.html
http://www.snitzhcd.com/dev/templates/default/1033/footer.html

Test skin showing some of the template variables.
http://www.snitzhcd.com/dev/default.asp?theme=test

It looks like a normal Snitz install, but actually all the converted pages (default, forum, topic) contain no response.writes what so ever and display entirely from the template files. The test theme isn't some kind of debug output, but a debug template (http://www.snitzhcd.com/dev/templates/test/1033/default.html).

I haven't looked at the code much in the last year and it was in a very early stage so don't expect much for usability.

Looks neat. Looking at SHN (v9), it appears to use different CSS and images. There's probably more involved, but I really haven't looked too much further into it. One thing I have noticed is that it runs kinda slow... not sure if its related to the skinning.

I'd like to see some options available for my other forums someday...

shn v9 switches skins pretty fast. He is on a sharred server and it can get pretty slow at times. I have it running on www.okgpc.com/forum and it runs fast

Ok. I guess my experience is due to being on a shared server as well then. Thanks for the clarification.

this topic is pretty old, nonetheless...

One solution to this "skins" problem is just have the forum output XML instead of HTML. It's gonna be quite a chore to do, because you have to go through each file and make the changes, but once it's done, anyone can just create custom skins (and also, skins in other languages). Maybe this is something that a few volunteers can do? We just need to set a standard on which custom tags to use, like <author>, <topic>, <reply>, etc. So who's with me?
