With all the new functionality provided by DNN 3.2, some users have had difficulty getting their older skins to display as they did prior to their upgrade. The problem many designers are seeing is a failure to get the currently active tab to render with the provided style which was previously assigned and working, a problem related to the new release of the SolPartMenu.

The correction is simple and easy to apply. The SolPartMenu added the ability to specifically format the Active tab menu item using the rootmenuitemactivecssclass attribute. For skins which are failing to display properly for this element, you must simply modify the skin XML file, adding this new attribute assignment, or change the ASCX tag definition within the offending skin.

The provided sample identifies the exact modification as it commonly appears in these skins, for both changing it in the XML file, or directly within the ASCX file.
