Hi Gerritjan,
The best way to update your skin is to edit DefaultSkin because you need
not have server access and you can change the look and feel for your XWiki
instance for: one page, one user, one space or the entire wiki.
You should use the object editor for DefaultSkin and just follow the steps:
-copy/paste the content of Style.css from the filesystem to style.css
field (this in fact overrides Style.css from the filesystem so that your
wiki will use the content of style.css)
-add a new property named toucan.css to XWiki.XWikiSkins class
-copy/paste the new content of toucan code in toucan.css
You need not modify your custom stylesheets.vm from the filesystem,
because the skin will use that version. Although, the best practice for
stylesheets.vm is the same as for toucan(add a property named
stylesheets.vm in the skin and override the property content).
Best regards,
Oana
