skin's name for activation

I think it will be nice to have a more distinct name to activate this skin than "strapping" like e.g. "bootstrapskin". There is at least on other skin around which is activated with the same name. Thus you cannot install and test them at the same time. I think such collisions should be avoided if possible even if there is indeed only a minor chance that this will happen.

Edit: another thing will be to also have consistent naming in the backend like, e.g.

require_once( "$IP/skins/bootstrapskin/bootstrapskin.php" );

since I think this will make administration easier in the long run.

Hi Kgh, will look at changing this for the next update, which is due pretty soon, appreicate your input, thanks, Lee

Great, another reason for changing is that this skin now ended up in the Strapping statistics. So it cannot be discovered.

All done, uploaded the newer version and changed the install info :)

That's really amazing. I imagine that it is fun for you to develop this skin. Do not forget to add it to the gallery of user styles to get more attention for it!

If it does not really matter the skin could go into the "bootstrapskin" directory or does it have to be "bootstrap"?
