After playing around for a while and finally finding out that it was as easy as setting:
<skin-family>simple</skin-family> in the trinidad-config.xml I got skinning to run in the portlet environment. In the end, I'm not very happy with what I see, though. I'm attaching a screenshot - basically, not much change happens by applying skinning - obviously due to the fact that the portlet containers don't offer many default style-class hooks. Have I been getting this wrong or does it really look like this? If I have been doing the right thing, wouldn't it be nice to have a way of adding the stylesheet with javascript dynamically in the body? Something like this: http://cse-mjmcl.cse.bris.ac.uk/blog/2005/08/18/1124396539593.html might be in order to have full skinning available, and still be standards compliant. I'd implement this in a component, if nobody has better ideas... regards, Martin -- http://www.irian.at Your JSF powerhouse - JSF Consulting, Development and Courses in English and German Professional Support for Apache MyFaces
