As discussed in the tutorial on creating a skin for a Doctum course, there are some style names you can target in the player in order to customize the look and feel. Here they are for your reference:

.pager { horizontalGap: 20px; }

.dataGridHeader
{
color: #FFFFFF;
fontWeight: bold;
fontSize: 11;
}

.mainViewStack
{
left: 50;
top: 25;
}

.header
{
paddingTop: 0;
paddingLeft: 0;
top: 0;
}

.mainNav
{
paddingLeft: 0;
left: 20;
paddingTop: 0;
top: 15;
}

.subNav
{
paddingLeft: 0;

Doctum comes preloaded with a selection of great skins to help get you started in building customized training materials. That said, you may want to build courses with a completely custom look and feel. Perhaps you have certain branding standards you need to uphold or maybe you have some preexisting training that you are trying to replicate in look and feel.

The Doctum architecture allows for some pretty creative design solutions. At first glance, what seems to be a very simplistic approach to designs, with a handful of layouts, a few skins and some templates quickly can be turned by a skillful designer to be a powerful set of theming and skinning features.

The Doctum 2.0 Application templating system is designed for maximum flexibility, while maintaining as much control over the implementation as needed to deliver a superior learning experience.

Step 1: Login to Doctum and click on MEDIA under the MANAGE CONTENT tab as seen below.

Doctum Builder runs best on a computer with the following specifications.

• Internet Browser
  • Firefox 3 or newer
  • Internet Explorer 7 or newer
  • Safari 3 or newer
  • Javascript Enabled
• Flash Player 9.0.115 or newer
• 1024x768 monitor resolution or greater
• Broadband internet connection

That's it. Basically, a modern (in the last 3-4 years) computer is more than adequate at running Doctum.
