i want to create a new website using my own graphics, but im very HTML and css challanged, i wonder does a basic file exist with all the required bits for dkp stuff to work , i can just add my own graphics to.
The easiest way to do this would be to deploy a drop-in template, and then just look at the CSS file (Admin > Layout > CSS Editor) to see the various image locations.
Then make your own images of the same dimensions, uploading them to the "Administrative File Uploader", and finally, change the appropriate paths in the CSS file.
In doing it that way, you don't need to really know CSS, you'll just need to scan it for URLs, leaving the rest of it untouched.
