Hello,
The easiest way (but maybe not the most intuitive) is to edit your skin
within your wiki. What you have to do is create a new document (say "
XWiki.MyNewSkin") and add it a XWiki.XWikiSkins object from the object
editor. Then you can feed the fields with code of one of the given xwiki
skin. For example, copy/paste the content of the "style.css" file of skin
albatross in the "style" field (header.vm in the header field, and so on).
Now, to personnalize your skin, you can modify/override css and velocity
code directly in your skin object.
If you want to go further, you can also add new fields to your XWikiSkins
class from the class editor, and override those in your skin object. For
example, add a field named "htmlheader.vm", copy paste its content from the
albatross skin, and then modify it, xwiki will take care of parsing it when
displaying your skin.
Have fun,
Jerome.

Hi
I have a basic question regarding skin modification. To make a skin
altogether, i.e., a skin which is very different from albatross skin. Say,
I need to place the edit, view, rename, delete panel to be placed a bit more
lower, I want to change the width of the right panel thinner etc.
What to go about to achieve this. Now I have changed the almost all of the
css files in albatross skin to change the look and feel. It works fine in FF
but is too messed up in IE. Is there an easier way to do this ?
Regards
Roopesh
