Do you mean to change the style of the actual editor? If so, check the FCKEditor forums.

Do you mean to change the style of the text being edited? If so, search this forum for editor.css.

FCKeditor uses a configuration file called fckconfig.js to control most of what the editor looks like, what skin to use, what icons to display, etc.  WebsiteBaker uses a special version of this configuration file which overrides the base fckconfig.js file so that WB users can upgrade the editor without losing their customization. This override configuration file (at least in ver. 2.7 of WB) is called wb_fckconfig.js and is located in:

/modules/fckeditor/

wb_fckconfig.js contains the same configuration commands as fckconfig.js and so can be modified according to the instructions found in the fckeditor documentation.  BE CAREFUL when changing it -- make a backup of the original wb_fckconfig.js file before you change anything so you can put things back the way they were if something goes wrong.

The fckeditor documentation is pretty good and you can find out exactly how to make the skins change at this page:

http://docs.cksource.com/FCKeditor_2.x/Developers_Guide/Customization/Skins#Basic_Skin_Files

For a list of all the configuration options that can be put in wb_fckconfig.js see:

When you want to change the icons you have to edit 'fck_strip.gif' which is located in the 'skins' directory.
I spent a rainy day doing this but I am not finished.
See my screenshot.

Hello Macsmet,
is your fck_strip.gif ready and would you like to share it with the community.
It looks really nice.

Hi Stefek,

No unfortunately it is not ready yet (lack of time)!
When it's done I will let you know so we can share it with the community.

Thank you.

I am writing a Tutorial about FCK Editor Customization for use with WebsiteBaker CMS.
And some additional Skins could be a nice supplement, I think.

Just post in this thread if you're finished.
I'll pick it up and let you know.

Thanks again.
