Hi Randy, I was able to create a new skin by copying the folder structure of an existing skin and tinkering with it. So far, I am able to just change the look and feel but wasn't able to add new custom mode.
I noticed a macro #PortletActionBar($decoration) in jetspeed/decorations/portlet/decorator.vm I guess this macro has to do with what modes can be provided. But I don't know much about Velocity and so I cldn't figure it out. Could you tell me where these macros are defined and how they work with themes and skins? Thanks so much for your inputs. -Sunil -----Original Message----- From: Randy Watler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2005 3:15 PM To: Jetspeed Users List Subject: Re: How to create a new skin and add custom mode to it injetspeed2? Sunil, The best way to start with the decorators is to make a copy of them and tinker! Decorators can be deployed by jaring them up and dropping them into the webapps/jetspeed/WEB-INF/deploy directory, (the jar file must contain the *.properties and *.vm files at the top level and folders for css and images filled appropriately). There might be a small bug in the 2.0 release deployer, but we'll fix that soon. In the interim, you should be able to edit them in place or copy new ones into the existing webapps/jetspeed/decorators directory. If you need to add a new custom mode, that is more complicated. I am not sure J2 supports this without code changes. I am sure David Taylor can give you some input there, or you can try to search the mailing list archives.
