[xwiki-users] Xwiki customize templates

[Roopesh P Raj]

Hi,

You can start to create a new skin by copy pasting an already existing 
skin, say, albatross. Rename it to say MyNewSkin. Try changing .vm files 
and .css files in your new skin. You can see the changes by appending 
?skin=MyNewSkin to the url. This will help you in knowing which files to 
change to make the look this way that way etc.

Once you have enough familiarity you can create a new skin using the 
facilities provided by XWiki itself by creating a page and adding 
XWiki.XWikiSkins object to it. This is a very easy process but first you 
need familiarity. (http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Skins)

Hope this helps :-)

Regards
Roopesh
