TWiki Skins

Overlay regular templates with alternate header/footer layouts

Overview

Skins are customized TWiki Templates files. You can use skins to change the look of a netfrag.org topic, for example, the layout of the header and footer. Rendered text between header and footer does not change. You can also use skins to define an alternate view, like a view optimized for printing.

The ?skin=name URL parameter overrides the SKIN Preference value.
