    I've been looking for some template skins for DNN v9.04 which are free.

    I've searched the DNN store, but most say they compatible with v8+ or don't say at all.

    Has anyone come accross a decent skin which is free and works on v9?

    thanks.

      I have not come across any issues regarding DNN 8 to 9. Major difference between 'old' skins is whether it is Bootstrap 3 or 4.
      Besides the default Xcillion theme there is :

      https://github.com/2sic/d...e-bootstrap4-instant
      https://www.nvquicktheme.com/
      These are used widely to create custom skins.

      If you want themes that have more bells & whistles:
      https://www.dnnbootster.com/
      http://dnncontra.com/
      https://www.dnnmdesign.com/

        Sypa,

        have a look at the skins that Geoff Barlow from DNNConsulting has released.

          thanks Tycho and Michael,

          I have tried all the following themes:
          dnnBootster
          dnnMdesign
          dnnMinimalist
          I was expecting a pre-populated skin/theme as per the demos with example content in the above themes as per their demos (am i missing something here?).
          Instead, I just have an empty grid with blank cells...?

          as for these themes:
          dnnContra
          dnnThemeEditor
          the download link says the product is no longer available.

            Sypa,

            I don't know any skins that come with demo content... The grid is for dropping modules in it.

            Are you new to DNN? Then I recommend dnndocs to learn, a starting point could be here: https://www.dnndocs.com/c...our-site/index.html.

            Happy DNNing!

              Right, a skin package never comes with content.
              One could create a Portal Template for this in theory, but I don't know of anybody doing that.
              This is not different for any of the commercial theme's AFAIK.
              Although they often have HTML block available to add in the HTML module, which is pretty awfull to manage IMO.
