Changing Images and CSS

A skin is a series of CSS, images, templates, and scripts that come together to form a look and feel for the user.The idea of a skin is that you can change the skin and hence change the look and feel of a site without having to change the content.

Changing the Skin

You can change the default skin for a site using the portal skin form, which is accessible from the control panel. You can represent a Plone site in a few different ways by applying different colors, style sheets, and templates to a site.

The portal skin form provides the following three choices:

• Default skin: This is the default skin to show to a user when they access the site. There is only one skin that's given by default, which is Plone Default.
• Skin flexibility: This sets whether you're going to allow users the choice of choosing their skin. If this is enabled, a user can go to their preferences and choose a new skin. This is enabled by default.
• Skin cookie persistence: If a user can select a skin, then select this to have the cookie last indefinitely. This means that a user will always see this skin when logging into a site. This is disabled by default.

Select the changes you'd like to make, and click Save to commit the changes. To improve performance sites, use image and style sheet caching. To ensure that you're seeing the new skin as it should be, clear your browser's cache
