I noticed that the Service.Master files are all for the "Customer Service" pages. All the other pages I have seen are all Default.Master. Shouldnt all the "Your Account" files be MyAccount.Master? I would hate to have to edit a style for each page because its not assigned to the proper master page.
Are there any other pages that are suppose to have a master page file other then Default.Master?

Default.master is the backup for most of the pages that may not have a masterpage available to them in the selected theme, which generally include the following: * Product.master => Product pages/templates
* Category.master => Category pages/templates
* Home.master => Home page
* MyAccount.master => Account pages
* Service.master => Customer Service pages
* Popup.master => Popup pages
* Custom.master => Custom pages
* Closed.master => "Store Closed" page
* Cart.master => Cart page There may be others that you can use, not sure off the top of my head. Of course, you can use as many as you like. I have a theme in the works right now that has different master pages for different styles of categories. Lots of flexibility here, especially if you're relatively familiar with .Net 2.0. |

how does the theme know to change the master page file? Like how would the theme know to change MyAccount_AddressBook.aspx from Default.master to MyAccount.master? Or do i have to maunally change that myself?

If MyAccount.master exists in the current theme, it will automatically be used instead of Default.master. |

ok... i used your tech theme, passed it through the generator. I see that most of the *.master files are there. I guess I was thrown off a bit because ContactUs.aspx has Service.master instead of Default.master. So I thought i would have to change the masterpagefile on every page to reflect what file to point to.

No, that stuff is generally done in the code-behind with PersonalizationServices.GetSafeMasterPage(). The masterpage set in the .aspx page itself is mostly ignored in the live application, I believe. |

awsome... that helps so much with adding custom styles to those pages. I understood the use of masterpage files, but like i said i was thrown of when i only saw one .aspx page using something other than the default.
