   This Version would be the Final Release with concern to its feature.
   Future bug fixing versions may be released.

   As per the Skin's Theme(NOTEBOOK) this VERSION of notebook skin
   is the max that I could push feature wise.

   If you wish to add more functionality don't forget there is whole
   cookbook section where you can select functions as per requirements.

   Currently the skin works effeciently on:
   FIREFOX(9.3+) and Konqueror(3.2+).
   On IE. the dropdown menu does not work if INFOBox is enabled.
   I have not tested on other browsers. 

   I would post a document/manual on working of this skin soon.
   Keep in touch with the skin's main homepage.
   Thanks.

Comments / User Feedback

• Please add your comment below:
  
  • (R. Fink) This is really good. Suggestions: use Javascript to highlight the color of the moused-over item in the drop-down menus; don't have addmenu capability on front screen, unless you want visitors adding menus to your system (but maybe I don't understand the feature).
    
    Also, I seem to have broken the "UsefulLinks" menu. I tried changing it to not show as a wiki link but messed something up - no amount of restores seems to fix it, either. Sorry!
  • I do have some plans for the ec(eye-candy) version. Check the icons and highlighting at http://insteps.net/notebookskin/notebookskin.php, but plan to add to the main zip package after it gets a bit more steady. :))
  • The dropdown menus do not stay up when I try to use them... -- Check v1.0.5
    • Sorry about that.... Please try Notebook2? which is more robust when it comes to understanding browsers. I use latest NotebookSkin as base for it but use different package for menus. If I happen to find a similar lightweight menu script (GPLed), then I may upload a fix.
    • BUT Notebook works like a charm in FIREFOX. :-))
