This help will provide you with all the technical information you’ll need to use the custom layout (xhtml templates).
As you will find, our custom layout system is based on an extensive set of extensions which can be used in our templates.

The first few sections will provide you with information about each screen you can adjust (Basics, Skin Layout, Shop screens).

The Troubleshooting and Advanced options sections will give some more insight for when things don’t seem to work or when you which to use some of the more advanced features of our custom layout.

In the references section each of these extensions is explained, so you can find out how to use it and which extensions are associated with it.

Our default layouts are also based on this system, and we also offer the option to download those templates as an example.
You can achieve your goal the fastest by using one of our default templates as an basis to make your own layout, that way you learn as you go.

Some functions which are frequently asked about are gathered in the Tips & Tricks section, you will find code examples of features which we do not provide as default, but can be used in your own layout.
