No ! This can't work..
Either you create a subdirectory in webapps/xwiki/skins/blueskin/ and
put all the files in there (without subdirectories) and use the name
'blueskin' in the XWiki Preferences.
Or you can:
1/ create an empty page XWiki/BlueSkin
2/ add the object
3/ ignore the name field
4/ set baseskin to 'default'
5/ each template needs to be copied into the corresponding field. Same
for the style.css file
6/ image and javascript files should be attached to the page
7/ use XWiki.BlueSkin in the preferences

Here's what I tried:
1. Downloaded blue-skin.zip
2. Created empty .../xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/BlueSkin page
3. Attached all the files in the blue-skin folder inside
blue-skin.zip to the XWiki/BlueSkin page
4. Chose More Actions > Edit Objects
5. Selected XWiki.XWikiSkins from the classes list and clicked "Add
Object from this Class"
6. Edited the Name field and set to "XWiki.BlueSkin"
7. Copied the contents of header.vm in the template folder inside
blue-skin.zip to the Header field
8. Edited the "Base Skin" field and set it to "XWiki.MySkin"
9. Save.
10. Navigated to my space. Chose More Actions> Space Preferences, went
to the Skin section, and set the Skin field to XWiki.MySkin, and
Default Stylesheet to style.css
11. Saved, then navigated to my space home page. There was a small
change (the XWiki logo changed -- but didn't look like the one in the
skin), but not much.
What am I missing?
By the way, adding 46 attachments in step 3 was tedious...

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.

Re: [xwiki-users] Installing new XWiki skins
I'm not sure I understand completely -- when you say "you need to
replace
the default files using the ones in the zip files" that it's not
possible
for a single XWiki instance to support multiple skins? 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?

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.
