Hi, so far it's "do it yourself" business. I'm planning to refactor templates soon so that they are easier to customize, but for now I recommend sticking to just changing the style sheet.

However there is a foundation for creating skins take a look at other posts tagged "skins".

What would you like to change?

Hi, >What would you like to change? The big things would be the shape of top menu boxes and the shape of votes/answers/views boxes. I don’t particularly like the rectangle shape of the top menu items, I think t would better if you could have just the text or a more rounded shape like shapado.com.

that can be done quite easily by adjusting the main style sheet. Are you familiar with css?

familiar? yes. competent? not so much. I'll try installing askbot and have a look at that style sheet. thanks

ok, please let me know if you run into problems. I do plan to overhaul the looks within a month.

If this improves it would be a huge plus for Askbot. None of the Q & A forum apps seem easily skinable. I think better docs would go along way. Default skin IMO has good usability, but I hate fixed width layouts (I am not too fond or Americanisms or some stuff that is hard for some users to understand).
