DNN Skin Objects

 

Overview

Skin objects are a type of DNN extension used in themes to provide additional functionality for common UI elements on a webpage.

 

Warning: it is not recommended to modify theme objects, as this can cause unexpected errors. Additionally, changes to theme objects will be overwritten during upgrades. Instead, create new objects or apply changes directly to skin layouts.
