CUSTOMIZING USING T HE SKIN FILES

Manipulation images and CSS can customize a Magento theme very effectively and efficiently. If you recall from an earlier example, the blue theme in Community Edition differs from the default theme only in the CSS. Do not use CSS visibility to turn on and off Magento blocks and content; use it to do all of your site

styling.

Because Magento has so much built-in functionality  wrapped in pre-defined divs, until you are fairly experienced with theming in Magento, it is often best to start with existing style sheets and modify them to fit your branding and look.  When you are more experienced with Magento, you can start from scratch or layer in your favorite framework. If you do start with existing CSS and images, be sure to download and install a

tool like the Firebug plug-in for Firefox, which will help you see which CSS is controlling  the formatting of every element on the page.
