Hi,

If you click on portal_skins (via ZMI), then the "Properties" tab, you'll
see a list of the skins defined for your site (probably 3 in a default
install). "Basic" is the one used by default.

The "Layers (in order of preference)" field is the "skin search path" - a
list of the folders in portal_skins that will be searched to find
methods/files. When you create a new folder off portal_skins (as opposed to
adding/copying stuff to the Custom folder), you need to add it to this list
for the skins that will use it.

HTH

Cheers, Jon
