yes I had the same problem. hello you artisteer programmers: that can't go on. its sooo easy to fix.
@ Marc: you can fix it like this:
open your ascx-file and go to the point where the content pane is definied.
replace the code with something like this:
<div class="art-content<%= CollapseSidebars() %>">
<%--festlegen der Panes als DIV-Container--%>
<div id="TopPane" style="margin:30px 10px 20px 10px;" runat="server"></div>
<div id="LeftPane" style="float:left;width:21%; clear:both; margin:10px 10px 10px 20px;" runat="server"></div><div id="ContentPane" style="margin:10px 5px 10px 5px; float:left; width:51%;" runat="server"></div><div id="RightPane" style="margin:10px 19px 10px 10px; float:right; width:21%;" runat="server"></div>
<div id="Column1Pane" style="float:left; width:43%; margin:10px 10px 10px 20px;" runat="server"></div><div id="Column2Pane" style="float:right; width:43%; margin:10px 20px 10px 10px;" runat="server"></div>
<div id="BottomPane" style="clear:both; margin:10px 20px 10px 20px;" runat="server"></div>
</div>
(its für a design with the width of 900px so you may have to change some of the values)
then you have to parse the skin again in yout dnn (if it is already installed)
i did the same and it works great.
(you can add as much panes as you like)

2000x... thanks a bunch for your help. And I agree that Artisteer should easily be able to fix this. In fact it is unbelievable to me that they didn't use leftpane, rightpane like the standard DNN styles.
I propose that they add a feature to the layout editor portion of Artisteer that allows you to name panes as well as more layout formats.
There is a vicious circle I see happening in that DNN is not exactly the #1 CMS in terms of installed users so Joomla, WordPress, and Drupal get more attention from them... but then for those who do try and use Artisteer for DNN the frustration feels pretty high right now so they capture even less of a smaller marketshare. I really believe if they could solve a few of these problems this could be a big hit in DNN.
They should also consider that DNN just received another $8 million in funding... perhaps there is a play there for them to get a cut of that if the play their cards right. If I were part of Artisteer's business team I would definitely be making some phone calls to the DNN money holders and discussing possibilities.
IMO DNN needs this type of solution more than Artisteer needs DNN at this point.

You are absolutely right. We need more of their attention. But we are "competing" with the other CMS products that are perceived as more popular.
A reliable way to influence the Artisteer team to focus more on DNN is to report specific DNN issues with as much clarity as possible --- in the Support area --- not the Forum area.
By clarity I mean:
1) screen shots of screens and/or code
2) exactly how to replicate the issue
3) the code fix, if known.
When I have done this they have responded with permanent fixes in a short amount of time.

I also agree, it would be easy to fix. My DNN customers are complaining about the skin and now need to make several skins for the site.
