Hi, I am new to QC and have just tried an installation. I really like it! :D
But I am puzzled as to how to implement a new template or skin. I have the template edit mod installed, so I can see all the templates in admin. When i COPIED the default to a new template called "TRY", I can start changing the templates there without affecting the original. Problem is, when I am ready to apply the template, HOW do I do that? I cannot seem to find any way to do this. I have googled this to death: "apply new template" "apply new skin" "change skin" and i have no idea how to do it. Please help? Thanks.

you can change most of the layouts and colours etc. in templates/default.css
but I don't know how to implement a new template either! no-one has answered when I have asked in the past...
just past html code into templates/tpl files. u can change a lot including gfx

heh heh... welll Jo, I guessed it was too much to ask for... i am doing it the "opposite" way at this time... here is how i do it...
1. I save the original file as a backup 2. I modify the "default" files to get the new look.... 3. I save that as "new look1" as a backup
So, now, I have 2 "new" templates: a) original b) new look
And my site will look like new look until i decide to change to "newer look".... this is my non-programmer solution... :D

maly-7 - Yes I understand how to edit the template files, but if I create a new template file how do I link that to a webpage? How do I get to it in the browser?
I have tried to create a template e.g. test.tpl
then typed myurl.com/?p=test
but that didn't work for me so I presume there is more to do...
