i have just upgraded my b2evo to 2.4.2. I noticed that there is a 'custom' skin that works with b2evo, but I had some customized 'custom' skins that i uploaded to the directory but they don't get recognized.
is there anyway i can use my old skins, or do i need to take the new 'custom' and modify it?
You might try using the stylesheet (CSS file) from your hack together with the other skin files from the 2.4.2 distro. That may not work right away but is a good starting point for building it again. Have a look at this Wiki topic: http://manual.b2evolution.net/Upgrade_from_1.10.x_to_2.0.x#Skins_Upgrade especially the first lines about importing the styles for the toolbar.
