ive been looking around for VBulletin skins, and alot of them are paid skins. i did find a free simple black looking skin at http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=140765 but i also want to know how to create them. do i need a program, or can Photoshop n dreamweaver take care of it?
You need to have the knowledge of CSS, (x)HTML and some PHP. I'm not that familiar with vB's skinning system though. Dreamweaver won't help you out here if you want to use it to code the skin, not at all. Skins are divided up into different template bits.
