1. How does the Desktop TruSkin format work?
Desktop TruSkin format from Bonzai Studio enables you to place your creative’s message on the header, footer, and around the publisher content area. Site visitors are guaranteed to view the creative irrespective of the publisher content.
For example, on publisher page load, you can view the header and the skins of the creative. Browsing to the bottom of the site, you can view your message on the site footer.

2. How do I open the Desktop TruSkin in the Bonzai Studio?
To open a creative in the Desktop TruSkin format:
On the Creative tab, click New Creative. The New CreativeScreen appears.
Select the High Impact or Search.
New Creative Screen
Select the Desktop TruSkin Format option.
On the Form, fill the Creative Details and click Build Creative to go to Canvas. The Desktop TruSkin format appears on the workspace.
Tip:
You can type the format name on the Size list box, the autocomplete dropdown enables you to find the format faster.
3. What are the default design specs of the Desktop TruSkin?
The Desktop TruSkin is available as a single unit for building a creative in the Studio. All the parts of the creative such as the skins, header, and footer can be designed simultaneously.
The default canvas size of the creative is 1920x1080 pixels.
On the canvas, by default, the publisher content area or the placeholder is considered to be 1000 pixels. Ad content placed on the publisher content area will be pushed behind the publisher content area and the content would not appear on the ad.
The format layout contains an area marked as Indicative Laptop Safe Area on each of the side of the assumed publisher width for the publisher content. This constraint keeps your ad content from being cut off by laptop's small screen.

Note:
When you build the creative, position your content (such as catchphrase, call to action, etc.) to lie within the safe area.

4. Can I change the creative properties from the page type settings?
Yes, you can adjust the creative’s properties from the Page Type Settings panel on the Properties pane. However, the default settings of the creative contain pre-specified values that are certified to work with different ad servers.
