WillyPs Nucleus Skins

LayoutGala, ported from Layout Gala is one skin with 40 different css files. Select 'layoutGala' from the Skin Chooser, then the css file corresponding to the layout you have chosen from Layout Gala. Note that this skin is not intended to be used as is, rather, it is a starting point for laying out a page in various configurations. I have followed the examples at Layout Gala as closely as possible, with only a few tweaks to the style. As a result, many of style-sheets have sidebars that aren't wide enough for the default-styled lists, margins and padding will need to be tweaked, etc... Of course, you will, no doubt, want to add your own images, backgrounds, restyle the lists, change colors and whatever to complete the skin.

Please post a link to your site, if you use this, (or any of my skins, for that matter) I am interested in seeing what you've done.

My newest skin, appropriately named 'Clouds'. Uses a javascript/ jQuery mega-pushdown menu system from MarcoFolio.net. It was originally designed to be used to expand code-boxes. The menu background image came from Morgue Files. Other than the picture of the clouds and a few other tweaks, the design is pretty much as I found it on MarcoFolio.net. Now that it works, I'll make some other skins based off it.

Testing with a floated image that is taller than non-floated text.

With Minimalisto you get two skins for the price of one! And a money back guarantee! Considering they are free, that's a great deal. ;)


Installing Minimalisto installs two sets of skins, "minimalistodark" and "minimalistolight". All other files and templates are shared.


Support for NP_ColorBox and NP_SkinChooser are provided through the use of the skinvar "if hasplugin".


Minimalisto uses a jQuery drop down menu from Dynamic Drive. In order to use it, you will need to set the paths to two images in the file, "ddsmoothmenu.js".

Sepia Cab Forward is a new skin featuring a picture of a steam locomotive. This skin is based largely on the 'Bipolar' skin. It adds a special skin part to list all the categories.From DaFont:

Just The Two Of Us is a skin based on an image I happened across at MourgeFile. This skin has an elastic content layout, meaning the center section will expand to fill the space between the two menu columns, which hug the sides of the view port. It has been tested with Chrome, Opera 10.1 and 9.63, Safari 3.03 and FireFox3.6, all on Win XP. It has been tested with IE8 and IE7 in IE tester. It also works in IE6 and IE5, but is somewhat degraded.

( edit... 4/22/10: new zip file, added clearing div to body of item.
7/10/2010: Wrapped the edit button in an 'if on team', as the div looked a little strange with nothing in it, if you weren't logged in. I also noticed that I had named the large preview image wrong, so it would not be linked in the admin area, so that's fixed too. New zip, same link!)
