<h2>Creating A Custom Skin</h2>
<p>
<strong>Note:</strong> be sure to add the <code>yui3-skin-sam</code> classname to the
page's <code><body></code> element or to a parent element of the widget in order to apply
the default CSS skin. See <a href="http://yuilibrary.com/yui/docs/tutorials/skins/">Understanding Skinning</a>.
</p>
<pre class="code prettyprint"><body class="yui3-skin-sam"> <!-- You need this skin class --></pre>
<p>
Skinning the menus created using the MenuNav Node Plugin is done using CSS. The stylesheet used
for other MenuNav Node Plugin examples is a minified version of the node-menunav-core.css and
node-menunav-skin.css files. The node-menunav-core.css file includes foundational styling that
controls basic layout and positioning, whereas the node-menunav-skin.css file is used to apply
colors, borders, padding, etc.
</p>
<p>
Skinning can be accomplished by either overriding the styles defined in the node-menunav-skin.css
file, or by creating an entirely new skin file. In either case, place custom styles in a separate
file to simplify integrating with YUI updates.
</p>
<p>
When creating a custom skin, use the node-menunav-core.css and node-menunav-skin.css files as a
reference. Also consult the <a href="index.html#css-reference">CSS reference</a>
section of the MenuNav Node Plugin landing page, as it provides a complete list of all of the class
names used by the MenuNav Node Plugin along with when and to what element(s) they are applied.
