I wish DNN would adopt Greytness as their default skin. It is so good. Cleanly coded. Easy to modify. Fast and just seriously good-looking. Thanks for making it available under Creative Commons. I now use it as a starting point for all my new projects.

I love using this skin! I use DNN for work and for my husband’s business, so I work with skins in various price points. I find that Greytness is superior to many of the paid skins – a clean template ready to let my content be the focus.

Great job, and thank you!

Hi Nathan,

Yes, we removed the Admin and Host menu items from the Greytness horizontal menu as they can now be accessed from the links in the top right corner of the control panel (using DNN 5.x).

Thank you for providing a free skin/container ‘Greatness’. I am a new DNN user and was looking for a skin to modify and to understand. Your contribution helps a lot for people like me who is trying to get their feet wet in skinning.

Adam Humphrey : Please feel free to make any changes or modifications to the Greytness skin code. One of the main reasons we released this skin under the Creative Commons license was to give people a starting point for skin development. Also, a couple people who downloaded the skin have successfully modified it to re-enabled the default DNN menu as well. You may want to check out http://www.dnndoneright.com/ Drop-in upgrade for SolPart and DNNMenu. Although it looks as though it also requires third-party localization modules. Please let me know if you need anything else. Always glad to help!

Thank you very much.You are a very very very good person:)

@ Adam Humphrey
No, 50$ is almost my monthly living expenses.Maybe I can change the menu control to default and make it look like as the menu of Greytness2.But I consider it not a good habit to alter Other People’s Works…Maybe I can make a new skin by myself based on the default skin.By the way ,I can learn something about dnn.
Thank you for replying me
