Hi Michael,

Well, we don't have this option available. We planning to revise a little the way skins and custom skins are handled by the interface. However, you can delete it manually by editing file called "skins.xml". You can find it in "Dreamweaver/Configuration/Shared/Extend/CSSPanels/skins".

At the bottom of that file you will see all the skins created by you. You can delete them and they won't appear. An example of how a skin is saved in that xml :
<skin name="mySkin">
<style name="Standard" separateHeader="true" separateFooter="true">
<header heightAll="48" heightTop="10" heightBottom="10" content="Title" stretched="true" fitContent="false"/>
<content heightAll="200" heightTop="10" heightBottom="10" content="Some sample content here" stretched="true" fitContent="false"/>
<footer heightAll="10" heightTop="2" heightBottom="2" content="Read more..." stretched="true" fitContent="false"/>
</style>
</skin>

You need to make sure that you delete from the <skin> tag to the closing </skin> tag of a skin. Oh, it's better to make a backup of that file first :D .

Regards,
Michael Korber

Perfect, thank you :)

Btw. since you are revising the way skins work it would be great to have a way of creating different sets/folders of skins for different projects. And for example load only the ones I need to use for a specific project.

I'm using Flexi panels mostly for custom designs made with flexi slicer, so I have a lot of different designs for various projects and a way of cataloging them would be a great addition for usability reasons.

Btw. I absolutely love the ease of use of flexi slicer and huge time savings while working on custom projects. This is by far the extension I use the most. Thanks :)

Aloha,

I have the same question. I am using Flexipanels for DreamWeaver CSS installed into Dreamweaver CS4.

I followed the instructions above, but the path seems to be different. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello Debbie,
I work on Mac and the path was as follows:

HardDrive>Users>user_name>Library>Application Support>Adobe>Dreamweaver>en_US>Configuration>Shared>Extend>CssPanels>skins

Maybe this helps.

All the best,

Was about to post same problem but luckily found this thread first.

I fully concur with Michael Korber above. Organized sets/folders or whatever is a really bad omission as is the ability to delete from interface. It's a lengthy frustrating experience when new custom panel attempts stuff up.

Regards.
