I created my css directly from the oracle.xss
You should use the following structure
-public_html
-skins
oracle-skin.css
-images
panel-light_bottom-start.png, etc

Subject: RE: [Trinidad] Skinning - Getting started
I'm attaching my oracle skin, I believe it is very close to the Oracle
look and feel without having the rendered buttons. (I apologize for
having to attach each image individually, our email filters are rather
strict :)) The images are for the light panelBox (which is the default)
They could easily be modified to account for the other color options.
Another (for our project) notable discrepancy is the fact that in
Trinidad the panelSideBar can no longer be skinned with a imaged border
so we can not achieve that nice shadowed effect that Oracle had for its
menu3 facet of the panelPage. I had posted something on this subject but
never heard anything.
There are differences between the way Trinidad renders and the way ADF
rendered that cannot be accounted for in the skin though, so beware of
subtle (or not so subtle) spacing and sizing issues. Firebug has been
invaluable to me in sorting out which issues I can fix with the skin and
which I need to use inlineStyle for. Also turning off the style class
compression makes things much easier.

Thanks, I noticed some problems, too, even with my yet very, very small
app.
panelBox has a background color that does not completely fill its shape,
most
fonts are way too large and fonts in dropdowns are much too small.
Any hints how to get a better skin? You probably can't share yours,
right?
Isn't there some sort of conversion from the old oracle-desktop.xss to
to css, so that one could start with that? Or would that make no sense
because there were too many changes in trinidad?
These problems should at least be mentioned in the "convert from adf"
document!
