RE: [xwiki-users] Skins

Skins are pretty much simple to setup once you've found out about classes and how they work. There is a FAQ for skins (listed under how to change image I think), but the FAQ has not been loading for the last few days. In a nutshell then (and I hope I got it all right - been awhile): Preparation: Open two explorer windows; both connected to Xwiki as Administrator. On the one, open the Default Skin (normally called "Xwiki.MySkin") and go to "More Actions", and select "Edit Objects". I'll refer to that window as the Default Skin. Unless noted, the following steps are done on the other window. 1) Create new document under the XWiki webhome, call it "SkinName" - replace SkinName for your own name. 2) Click on "More Actions" and select "Edit Objects" 3) Under "Add Object" select "Xwiki.XwikiSkins"; and click "Add Object from this Class". 4) Now on the Default Skin window, copy all the content under Style. 5) On the new skin, paste the text you just copied into the empty Style field. 6) Name your skin the same as your document name (eg "Xwiki.SkinName") 7) Click Save Objects, and go back to your content page (click on the document name) 8) Edit the content now ("Edit this Page" link). 9) For ease of use, paste the following into the text box: __________________ 1 Skin To active this skin by default, user "Edit XWiki Preferences" in the "More Actions" menu and enter XWiki.(skinname) in the skin field. * <a href="$doc.getURL("edit","xpage=editobject")">Edit this skin</a> * [Test this skin>Main.WebHome?skin=${doc.fullName}] 1.1 Current styles and templates * <a href="/xwiki/templates/">Template</a> * <a href="/xwiki/skins/default/">Styles</a> ____________ 10) Click Save. You can test your skin by clicking the "Test this skin" link. 11) To use the skin, simply follow instructions in the content above. OK, I know it's probably not very clear.. But it should help you get there.

Does somebody else have a skin I can use? Or maybe a guide? -- Raven Demeyer Roses are #FF0000, Violets are #0000FF, All my base are belong to you.
