There are plenty of ways to provide a dynamic style/theme for a web site, but I am looking for some help on some best practices or techniques that have worked well for others. I am creating a web site that needs to provide the ability for customers to create or specify their own colors, style, theme, or layout. I'm not convinced how mu...
I somehow got lumbered with deploying SharePoint at work. I hate it, even the simplest things seem to be unnecessarily difficult. I've seen a few resources scattered around, but they all seem to stop short of helping me really take control of the css. Can someone point me in the right direction? EDIT I'm not afraid of the css itself...
Hi, I have a web application that I need to modify so that it can be rebranded for different customers. I did the same thing with the windows version of the app using resource files and a #define.

I don't know if stackoverflow is the right place for this, but hopefully this is ok to ask. Has anyone here ever had their software packaged as a hard copy and distributed/sold that way?

Cheers, after seeing Stack Overflow's excellent implementation of OpenID, and after seeing what great job Google did with OpenID, I implemented it on a web app I'm working on. During my research I ran into Plaxo as another great RP. Recently, Facebook added some rudimentary OpenID support. It's apparently used for completely different ...

We use MOSS 2007 (SharePoint) for our intranet. Recently we were tasked with supporting the branding for multiple companies on our farm. We quickly realized that the application pages (produced by a modified application.master) can't serve up multiple branded templates (other than themes). I think the right fix is to keep the default ...

I'm about to start writing a tool in .NET 2.0 (C#), and the tool needs to be re-brandable to be sold for use by other companies. We'll compile the tool in house, with other company's resources, so they don't get the source, just the generated output. Since the re-branding will use the same default language, how do you manage multiple r...
