I'm using Acquia Marina 6.x-3-0.alpha1. On the project page (http://drupal.org/project/acquia_marina) there is a link to 'Fusion handbook - for Acquia Marina 3.x' (http://drupal.org/node/629408)
The Fusion handbook mentions block configuration settings for 'Styles'
"Fusion Core comes with a pile of useful block styles, and any particular Fusion sub-theme likely comes with even more. [..] You can set these styles on any block's configuration page:"
Styles mentioned are: General styles, List columns, Menu layout, Superfish menu styles, and many more.
However I don't see any style related settings on any of my block configuration pages ...
Is this something that is not available with Acquia Marina?

Questions
Does your role has the necessary skinr permissions? Obviously not a problem when you are UID1.
Go to your to your theme page and select AM. There should be "Theme specific settings". Open the Administrator settings and check "Display block configure links for administrators.". Do you get a small gear-wheel icon when you hover over any given block after enabling this?
If so click on it and you should get skinr block settings(collapsed) above the "original" block settings.
Hi Dave and thanks for the
Hi Dave and thanks for the quick reply.
I do have the gear-wheel showing up, and when I click on it I am taken to the block's configuration page. I just don't have any options for block 'styles' as mentioned in the handbook.
Attaching a screenshot here: http://i49.tinypic.com/rssumb.png
I'm using:
Drupal: 6.15
AM: 6.x-3.0-alpha1
Fusion: 6.x-1.0-rc1
Skinr: 6.x-1.4
I found my problem
@totsubo:
Disable Jquery Update and see if the Skinr block options show up. I;m having the same issue (see my reply to Jeremy below). I disabled every module not required, then it worked. I started enabling from the bottom up to find the conflict. When I got to jquery, that was it. With jquery enabled, Skinr doesn't work. Disabled, it works perfectly.
Definitely not good since none of us can live without jquery.
Good luck!

Update themes
Make sure your Acquia Marina theme is enabled and set as the default and also update your version of Fusion as there have been changes since that version. No need to enable Fusion though as it's a sub theme and works fine disabled since you are using Acquia Marina as the theme. And if you "upgraded" the Acquia Marina theme, be sure to delete the existing folder and install the updated files there instead. Sometimes if you have old and new files there will be conflicts.

As a side note...
Jeremy, if you don't mind me asking, I've been wondering this for awhile: What are you using for your slideshow on the front page of your site (eternalistic.net)? I've been using Frontpage Slideshow, which is pretty darn good, but I like your setup much better. Is it a mod or custom?
Thanks man!

jCarousel
Hi Chris, I'm using the jCarousel module (http://drupal.org/project/jcarousel) and a custom theme I created to fit my design. So it's using that module and then some custom CSS to get it placed and looking like that.

Jeremy did you read my post
Jeremy did you read my post ;)
The theme versions I listed above are the most recent dev/alpha versions of AM, Fusion. Skinr is the latest stable version. AM and Fusion are enabled and of course AM is the default. There are no old folders :)
Yeah I have no idea why it's
Yeah I have no idea why it's not showing for you then. Try signing in as user 1 and see if that works. As long as Skinr and the Acquia Marina theme are installed it should work.

Here Too
Jeremy,
Just wanted to add that a similar thing is happening to me too. On one of my sites that uses a highly modded version of Prosper, it works fine... but this site is using the previous version of both Skinr and Prosper.
Now, on my company's site that I'm developing, I updated everything, including the latest version of Skinr and Prosper. When I did so, I ran into the same thing he's running into. But here's what's strange:
When I enable Skinr alone, I get exactly what he's describing and what his screenshot showed: The block mod options, but no Skinr options. When I enabled the Skinr UI, I get the edit wheel, of course, and when clicked, there's a new drop-down that says "Edit Skin". Cool. But when I click the edit drop-down, I get a popup box that does nothing. See the attached screenshot. This is only when the UI is enabled. I went into settings/skinr and tried changing some settings, but nothing made a difference. This happened only after the update to both Prosper and Skinr latest versions. Lemme add too that the same thing happens when I switch to Marina.
Everything was fine before I updated. Just to be sure, since this site is in early dev, I downgraded Prosper and Skinr to previous versions...... and BAM: Skinr once again worked as it should. Updated back to latest versions... and it went back to not working.
So it seems to be something with the latest update. Don't know why it's working for some. But there's definitely some issue there since it's not isolated to one individual.
I'm looking through the codes and files now so maybe I can come up with something. No biggie for me. It'll get worked out and in the meantime, I can work around it. But I just wanted to add my two cents to let you know that it's not an isolated thing. Maybe it's a conflict with another mod? I'm gonna start disabling added mods one-by-one and see if that helps.

Update:
Jeremy,
It's definitely some conflict with Jquery. When I disable jquery Update, Skinr works perfectly. I suspect the real issue lies somewhere with ModelFrame. But Skinr UI depends on ModelFrame... and without UI, you can't use Skinr, as you know. If memory serves me, ModelFrame wasn't a requirement with the previous Skinr releases, was it? I didn't have this issue before. I know ModelFrame opens edit pages in a frame, but honestly, I'd rather just have Skinr working. I could live without ModelFrame.
Now I could be doing something wrong... but I really don't think so. With Jquery Update disabled, it just works fine... and doesn't open in a frame.

How does one disable JQuery?
How does one disable JQuery? I'll give it a try also just so I can report back.
Definitely can't live without JQuery :)
Go into modules section,
Go into modules section, scroll down to "user Interface" section and uncheck "jQuery Update". After that, go to a block and edit... see if that works. It did for me.
You're right, permanently disabling jQuery is not an option. I'd give up Skinr and just hand-code the changes I need if I had to... because no jQuery = no Drupal. But if it works for you, it will at least be two of us in the same boat... so then I'll post an official bug on the Skinr mod page.
Let me know how it goes. Either way, regardless, TNT ROCKS! I use no other themes.
Good Luck!
Chris
Uh-oh ... maybe we're not in
Uh-oh ... maybe we're not in the same boat?
I don't have a JQuery module under User Interface, and I definitely don't remember installing one. But if you say no JQuery == no Drupal then I should have one?
Not Necessarily
Technically, Drupal doesn't need jQuery to operate. What I meant was that jQuery adds SO much to Drupal, plus a very large amount of modules require it... many of which I use. SO in my case, I simply can't live without jQuery. So for me, no jQuery = no Drupal site.
You may not have installed it unless a mod required it. And in that case, you'd know.
So now I'm perplexed. Try troubleshooting: Disable all modules except for core one's (you can leave Drupal packaged one's like content, comment, etc)... but leave Skinr enabled. Once all are disabled, see if Skinr works. If so, then just enable a few mods at a time, or one-by-one depending on how many you have. After each enable, keep checking to see if Skinr still works. When you get to the point that it's no longer working, you'll have the culprit.
Post back when you can so we can stay on the same page... if you don't mind.
Good luck!
Chris
Different Skinr release
I've seen some issues with various versions of Skinr and Fusion based themes but a lot of that is still in development. I am running the 6.x-1.3 version and am having no problems. Seems the 6.x-1.5 version is out now so that might be worth a try. I haven't had much luck working with the 6.x-2.x-dev version though so that might be the same sort of problem you are experiencing with your site.

I've disabled all my modules and still see this bug.
Sure I could use the 6.x-1.5 version but I still want you guys to realise there is a critical bug in the dev version.
