Blue is one of the most common main colors in webdesign. It is so common that it is considered very non-trendy today. But it is still a soft and nice color that does no harm - and also Andreas's favorite color. So andreas09, which is the last design in the andreasXX series in a while, is aqua blue by default. But there is a twist:
If you don't like the blue colors you can easily change to another color using any of the attached alternative background image pairs: green, orange, purple, red or black! The alternative images are located in a separate folder, and changing color is done by replacing the bodybg.jpg and menuhover.jpg colors in the "img" folder with any pair of images from the "alt-img" folder. Pick a color, move the files and make sure that they have the same filename as the original files - and you're done! As a little bonus, Andreas has also included an alternative layout with 2 columns.
DNN Creative Magazine has already done this work for you, the skin comes in the variety of colors which you can view in the left menu.

The Skin
This skin comes with 3 different layouts and 7 colours
- 3 panes
- 2 panes with the side menu on the left
- 2 panes with the side menu on the right
It also comes with 4 containers, they are automatically styled depending on the pane you insert them into:
- h1 container
- h2 container
- h3 container
- transparent, no title container
When using these containers, the header tags are placed around the title of the module.
Here we are testing a link
- This is an unordered list
- part 1
- part 2
When you first enter text at the beginning of a module, to use the styling, specify an intro class, ie:
<p class="intro">This is into text</p>
becomes:
This is intro text
This is a h1 tag
This is a h2 tag
This is a h3 tag
