A recent contest postsed on the IPS forum has started a lot of excitment throughout the design community of IPS.
Briefly, IPS has setup a contest to allow anyone to submit their design to be included in the final versions of IPB 3.0.0. This will encourage a lot of people to start skinning the IPB 3.0.0 default template.
To get people started anyone can use my How to make a skin on Invision Power Board 2.2.x to get started with. I will try to get a full tutorial by Sunday or late Monday on how to do skinning for IPB 3.0.0 (basics) to get people started on it.
I will also take a shot at this contest and maybe talk you through tips and processes that can help anyone interested. For now just hold tight until Sunday or Monday until I get a basic guide out.
To read the full content head yourself to topic posted on skin design contest.
here are more articles to help out
