Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me as I've tried to obtain help from the
Xwiki Users list but didn't work?
After an upgrade from my old version of Xwiki which was 2.x (I think I
built it in 2010) to 3.1.1 I ended up seeing this as my admin panel:

In comparison with my old Xwiki instance this doesn't look right.
Looks like you have a custom skin based on Toucan. Well, in the meantime the
Toucan CSS has changed a bit, you should integrate those changes back into
your skin.
Generally, it's a bad idea to copy and modify the base skin, you should
include it from your CSS and override the things you want changed. This way
it will be easier to upgrade.
Thanks Sergiu for the response.
Initially I did the modification (which I found through
xwiki.org) which
stated to modify the .css file within the skin itself.
$XWIKI/skins/toucan/css
so what I will do now to clean up is copy the original Xwiki 3.1.1 toucan
skin into my Xwiki instance then attempt to use the Admin panel to re-add
the background and right-background images back into the toucan skin.
I'm not sure how to do this even though I have done it with the logo.
-for that there was provisioning within the Admin Panel saying: Logo -
then the image could be uploaded into the DB and engaged from there; while
the method I took was to add the files into the toucan skin folder within
webapps/Xwiki
--Actually on second thoughts it would be better as you suggested to
create a new skin then make the modifications there by copying the
original xwiki 3.1.1 toucan skin. {if possible}
Ok, lot's of work ahead of me but at least I know where I stand and also
that my DB isn't corrupted - few all that hard work too :-)

Kaya
