As previously outlined, the DNM Chameleon Skin Chooser allows you to give your users the ability to change how they see the site. To do this:
1. First install the module through DNN. Then, embed it in one of the panes of your skin or else embed it directly as a skin object in your skin.
2. Access the Edit Chameleon screen to upload the different skins and the thumbnails (if you choose to display the skins in your site as pictures). This screen also allows you to specify the skin order of how they will appear in the text, drop down menu or thumbnails - depending on which you use in your site.
