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 Josh Joy wrote:
Hi,
I'm looking to use xwiki, though would like to do some custom skins and templates for my site. I was looking at the various vm files under the "templates" directory, though am becoming horribly confused as to the flow, page life cycle, and generally how everything is connected.
Is there some good resources I can read about how everything fits together and also possible some sample applications? I'm not really sure where to start or even how the main page for xwiki is being generated...I tried looking through the xwiki website, though customization documentation seems sparse, though I may have just totally missed something...thanks in advance...
Thanks, Josh
