This file contains instructions that should be helpful when creating skins for the Shadowbox media viewer. If you create a skin that looks good, and you would like to include it in the official Shadowbox distribution, please don't hesitate to contact me. INTRODUCTION A Shadowbox "skin" is merely a directory of files that determines what Shadowbox will look like. The name of the skin will be the name of the directory in which it resides. At the very minimum, this directory must contain at least two files: 1) skin.js 2) skin.css If you don't understand something that I write in this file and you'd rather see some code, you can always refer to the "classic" skin that is included in the default distribution. SKIN.JS The first file (skin.js) determines the actual HTML markup that Shadowbox will use. Inside this file, a public static property named SKIN should be defined on the Shadowbox object. This property itself will be an object containing the following properties: 1) markup 2) png_fix The markup property should be a string that defines the HTML markup to be used with Shadowbox. The script expects most of these elements to be present, so you should leave the most basic structural elements such as #shadowbox_container, #shadowbox_body, etc. However, I've tried to make the script flexible enough to allow for some rearranging of elements such as the navigation controls. The markup string may contain placeholders that will be translated into the appropriate language when the language file loads. These placeholders should contain the name of one of the Shadowbox.LANG properties surrounded by curly brackets (e.g. {cancel}). The png_fix property should contain an array of element id's that are using transparent PNG's for backgrounds. Transparent PNG support is built in to the script for browsers (such as IE6) that do not natively support it. This behavior can be seen in the classic skin for the navigation icons and the transparent overlay. SKIN.CSS The heart of a Shadowbox skin is the CSS file. Most of the weird CSS quirks have already been worked out in the classic skin, so use this skin as a reference when creating your own. I have placed comments by certain rules that are important for Shadowbox to display properly. Disclaimer: I don't have a lot of time to help you with your own CSS issues, so only attempt this if you know what you're doing or you're willing to put the time in to fix your bugs yourself. The CSS file defines the colors, images, and overall appearance of the Shadowbox media viewer. You may use transparent PNG's as the script contains support for browsers (such as IE6) that do not support them.
