Hello
I'm running Xwiki Enterprise 4.4 on Apache Tomca 6 and I'm trying to
create a custom skin for a space that I defined in the default wiki but
nothing is changing. I tried following the steps provided in
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Skins#HChangingtheSkina…
specifying "toucan" as the skin) but nothing happened. I also tried
the procedure described in
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Skins under "How to
override a Skin" sections A, B, C, D and F.1 but I didn't see any changes.
The Toucan skin was retired in 4.4-rc1, so it is no longer available in 4.4
final. It was considered deprecated and was not maintained anymore for some
quite time now, and we decided to remove it. If you are still you want to
use it, you can still download it and deploy it in your wiki instance (see
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Toucan+Skin )
Colibri is now the only skin we bundle by default in XWiki products. XWiki
skins are much more than just some css and js files, writing a full skin
from scratch requires quite a lot of work.
Could someone please tell me how I can create a custom skin? I don't mind
doing it either through web interface or by editing files directly on the
server.
To solve your issue you have 2 options from my point of view:
1) If you want to have different look for each space, you should use the
ColorTheme application (bundled by default), and create custom themes which
can be applied on a per space basis. This is the easiest way of achieving
what you want. For more info, look
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Color+Theme+Application
2) You can follow the tutorial on Overriding a skin and override the parts
which you want to change. This approach is a little bit harder.
Hope it will help

Sorin B.
Thank you.
