Do a search for the file "MySkin". Probably it is XWiki.MySkin. Navigate to the page and click "Edit this skin". You will see several form fields: Name Style Header Footer View ViehHeader Etc When the contents of these fields are empty, XWiki defaults to the files in the WAR installation. So, for example, if you want to gain control at the UI layer of your header.vm file, get the contents of header.vm and paste it into the header field. Then it will override. So, for example also, notice that there are style sheet includes for a bunch of CSS files in the Style field. Get the real contents of one of those files and paste it into the Style field. Then remove the import line. Now, you have access to that style from within the XWiki UI. We should really write up a much clearer tutorial for this. It is a very powerful capability. ================================== Cody Burleson IBM, Business Consulting Services On Demand Workplaces "Simplifying access to content, applications, people and processes."

It looks like the design is in place for each space to have its own skin... just wondering. Assuming an XWiki instance can support only one skin, to install the files, do I replace files in xwiki\skins\default and xwiki\templates with the ones provided with the skin zip? Stephen

Hi,
Skins are currently not properly packaged.. At this point you need to replace the default files using the ones in the zip files. In the future we plan to deliver a skin as one file that can be installed
locally or in the the wiki.. There is still work for this.

Francois Constant posted some nice-looking skins on this page:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/Skins
However, I wasn't able to figure out how to install them.
There is a link to a topic on HowToCreateASkin, but it isn't clear to me
how to apply the information on that page to install a pre-packaged skin.
If someone could provide some pointers, I would be glad to edit the page
and add the necessary info.
Regards,
Stephen
