Skins

The graphical appearance of Widget Framework publications can be controlled by selecting skins. A skin is a package of CSS files, graphics files (button icons, and so on) and javascript files that determine the appearance and behavior of the templates. The Widget Framework is supplied with a small number of ready-made skins. It is possible to make skins of your own (if you have the necessary CSS and Javascript programming skills). This manual does not, however, cover the design and creation of custom skins.

Skins can be set on a per-section basis, allowing you to give a different look-and-feel to different parts of a publication. For a description of how to do this, see Changing Skins in Web Studio. You can also associate skins with specific templates or specific content types using style widgets. For a description of how to do this, see Changing Skins With Style Widgets.
