Magento ecommerce - reskinning default template

[Jellygnite]

Has anyone here done some reskinning of Magento. I am in the process of seeing how long it would take. It was daunting at first when looking at the number of files they use but after wading through it, it may be manageable.

If you have done it before - can you provide any tips, problems you encountered, advice, etc?

I've never done it, but was under the impression it was a lot like VB and used alot of repeated images and then the buttons on top of that. Have they fixed all the security issues with it yet?

Security issues??? I will have to check up on this.

Not sure what you meant by VB - Visual Basic?

It is very template driven so in terms of skinning it you should be able to use any design you want to. Compared to oscommerce, for example, which is such a mess, the ability to use your own HTML / CSS without all the tables will be a good thing,

I have doing some redesign...don't like magento) it is done not for people! hard to implement any change in it.
My advice is - get other shop and redesign it. :)
