Some noodling on creating a learning trail for Visual Customization

There are different levels of customization that are covered by Zope Page Templates, main_template, macros, CSS, Javascript, base_properties, portal_skins folder, and 3rd party skins.

At the simplest level (A):

• The simplest color, font, logo changes (e.g. through base_properties)
• Re-arranging, removing, and adding portlets
• Installing and using 3rd party skins

At the most complicated level (C):

• Creating a new skin from scratch
• Modifying main_template
• Understanding macros
  
• Modifying the navigation portlet (beyond the control_panel settings)
  

Most everything else could fall in between (B):

• General approaches in making changes through CSS
• Using the resource registries for CSS, Javascript and KSS
• Modifying existing templates
