Thanks Tom but i've just tried what you proposed and it still doesn't work.
I still got a path like "/xwiki/skins/default/style.css" for my css file ,
same for the logo. Yet it uses the template files put in the newskin
folder...
Any other idea?

 You can add/modify a parameter in xwiki.cfg called "xwiki.defaultskin".
  Then restart.
 You just set it to the name of the directory.  For example, if your skin
 was under "skins/newskin", set the parameter like this:
 xwiki.defaultskin=newskin
 Hope this helps,
 -Tom

 [xwiki-users] Newbie skin modification problem
 Hi there,
 I've just installed Xwiki in local to try it out, and i'd like to
 customize the theme.
 Ludovic said in a (very) old post that you can create your own new skin by
 creating a "skins/newskin" folder next to "skins/default" folder,
putting in
 it all the template files and css files (coming from "skins/default")  that
 you need to modify and modifying them.
 Then watching the result by using "?skin=newskin" or turning it on in the
 preferences.
 So i did this way, and it works well when modifying the templates
 structure(ie: header.vm).
 But i got some trouble as soon as it uses getSkinFile() which is supposed
 to call the file between ()  with its path (am i wrong?): it always call the
 file from the default skin folder (while it uses the header.vm from
 newskin folder :/ ).
 So i don't manage to call my own logo or my modified style css from my
 "newskin" folder. Should'nt it automatically switch to newskin folder path
 since i use newskin skin in my preferences?
 Where am i wrong?
 I know i could modify the skin via the edit object.. and so on but i'm not
 comfortable with that approach and i'd prefer to be able to gather all the
 skin files in hard in a same folder.
 Thanks in advance
 Nicolas
