Hi, I'm trying to create a new skin. I followed the section Skins within the Developer's Guide and also Platform Features / Skins. The article "How to create a new skin" says to copy the whole colibri (should be flamingo by now) skin folder and make an example change. Then there is a part about skin.properties. The property "parent" indicates a skin to inherit from. It says that it always has a value, even if I don't explicitly enter one for myself it will inherit from WAR or whatever is configured in "xwiki.defaultbaseskin". Does that mean I don't have to copy the whole flamingo folder if I reference flamingo as "parent"? This way I could only create a custom named folder within the xwiki/skins folder with the skin.properties file and for example a logo.png file which would replace the flamingo logo.png file. I don't understand the behavior and the functionality of this inheriting and parent child relation of skins from the articles in the documentation. Why have a parent if I copy the whole skin folder anyways?
