Paul, Basically all I am looking for is to apply any visual changes to the entire screen. When the root portletSet is skinned, all of its children portlets and sets inherit that skin. What I am looking for is a way to extend that change outside of the portlet container. For example if the user chooses a skin with green text color, I would like the text in the three navigations (top, left, and bottom) to update to green as well.
After looking through the documentation it looks like there might be a way to retrieve the skin, and at first glance it seems to work... #set( $profile = $data.getProfile()) #set( $doc = $profile.getDocument()) #set( $portlets = $doc.getPortlets(0)) ## perhaps by name? #set( $skin = $portlets.getSkin()) #set( $skinName = $skin.getName()) Confusing, but it seems to work. Do you see any potential problems with this? Thanks, Akihiko --- Paul Spencer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Akihiko, > I am not sure I follow the question.
