Hi
Sorry to bump this up. I'm really stuck with this skin issue and would really
appreciate any pointers/help.
Sadly there are some people who feel that not having the logo is the end of the world
:-)
But more importantly, I do need some of the modifications/restrictions I've put in
with the .vm files.
Kind regards,

I'm afraid that makes no difference.
Would it be worth deleting and recreating a new skin?
I have noticed that the "home" icon as well as other icons in the applications
panel have changed from the font-awesome type to colourful type icons. But I still
don't have the logo or any of the modifications from the attached .vm files.
I have downloaded the .vm files and I don't mind editing them again based on the
latest files. I just need to know how to create a new skin that I can customise and be
sure it'll work going forward.
Please could you help me with specific instructions on how to do this if it's
possible? Thanks.
Kind regards,

Hi Thomas
Thanks for responding.
The skin is called "CDCSkin". Which is sometimes shown as
"Main.CDCSkin".
The URL for it is:
http://xwiki.local:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/CDCSkin
The title of the page is simply "Skin" and the breadcrumbs shows "Home
> Skin"
I have tried the following URLS and none work:
http://xwiki.local:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/?skin=CDCSkin
http://xwiki.local:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/?skin=Main.CDCSkin
http://xwiki.local:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/?skin=Skin
Could it be that your skin page is a nested page?
Try http://xwiki.local:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/?skin=Main.CDCSkin.WebHome
Thanks

I have also checked in /usr/lib/xwiki/skins and the
only directory in there is "flamingo". Though I am pretty sure at some point it
was changed so that you didn't have to duplicate the folder, just had to create a
"skin" document (not sure document is the right word, but hopefully you know
what I mean).
I've tried a search for "CDCSkin" on the server and it doesn't appear
to exist on the filesystem.
Please let me know if you need any other info and thanks again for your help.
Kind regards,

The only thing that changed I can think of is that there is a default base skin now in
xwiki.cfg. Skin that were not indicated any parent skin used to inherit directly from
/templates/, maybe that's you issue.
