11 | 1.1 Changing the logo | ||
12 | |||
13 | Many methods can be used to change your wiki's logo. The method described here is the simplest of all: | ||
14 | |||
15 | * Choose an existing image or create a new one | ||
16 | * Resize it so that it is 220 pixels wide and 80 pixels high | ||
17 | * Save it as a PNG file and name it "logo.png" | ||
18 | * Upload the image as an attachment [right here.>XWiki.DefaultSkin#Attachments] | ||

23 | |||
24 | * Click on the "Administration" link at the top right of your page | ||
25 | * Click on the "Presentation" button | ||
26 | * In the "Default Stylesheet" field, replace "style.css" with one of the following: | ||
27 | ** "style-black.css" -> will give your wiki a black background | ||
28 | ** "style-blue.css" -> will give your wiki a blue background | ||
29 | ** "style-darkblue.css" -> will give your wiki a dark blue background | ||
30 | ** "style-darkgray.css" -> will give your wiki a dark gray background | ||
31 | ** "style-gray.css" -> will give your wiki a gray background | ||
32 | ** "style-green.css" -> will give your wiki a green background | ||
33 | ** "style-kaki.css" -> will give your wiki a kaki background | ||

35 | ** "style-purple.css" -> will give your wiki a purple background | ||
36 | ** "style-red.css" -> will give your wiki a red background | ||
37 | * Click on the "Save" button at the bottom of the page. Your wiki is now running under a new color scheme! | ||

39 | 1.1 Changing your wiki's panels | ||
40 | |||
41 | In XWiki Enterprise, you can control the look and feel of your wiki: | ||
42 | |||
43 | * Click on the "Administration" link at the top right of your page | ||
44 | * Click on the "Panel Wizard" button | ||
45 | ** The "Page Layout" tab allows you to define whether you want a right column, a left column, both or none. | ||
46 | *** Click on the desired layout | ||
47 | *** Click on "Save the new layout". Your wiki now has the columns you want it to! | ||
48 | ** The "Panel List" tab allows you to select which panels you want to display | ||
49 | *** Drag & Drop the panels you want to use from the middle of the page to the columns | ||
50 | *** Drag & Drop the panels you want to remove from the columns to the middle of the page | ||
51 | *** Drag & Drop the panels you want to move from one place in the column to another | ||
52 | *** Once you're happy with the result, click on "Save the new layout" at the bottom of the page. Your wiki now has its new panels. | ||
