My Developer Tools skin cloner is not working right
Installation and Configuration
Strumelia:In other words, are we supposed to manually look for and install all the new updates to our clone?
Yes - this is correct. The "compare" template tool was designed to help with this. Once you create a new skin (say "myCustomSkin") that is cloned from an existing skin, it "stands alone". If you clone it from jrNingja, and the update jrNingja, it does NOT update your "myCustomSkin" (nor would we want it to!).
The primary goal with cloning is not to try to keep everything in "sync" with the skin you cloned from, but is designed to allow you to customize your site without worrying about losing changes when you update.
Let me know if that helps.
