Without getting into the TWikiTemplates system yet, you can easily edit the ==view.tmpl== (in the =templates= directory). In the HTML at the top, the body tag has the page background hardcoded to white ==bgcolor="#ffffff"==. You can change that color value to new variable. First, define a new preferences variable in the site-level TWikiPreferences, e.g. =* Set =PAGEBGCOLOR = #d0d0d0=, then edit the ==view.tmpl== template file and change ==bgcolor="#ffffff"== to ==bgcolor="%<nop>PAGEBGCOLOR%"==. If you want you can set the page background color individualy per web, simple add a =* Set =PAGEBGCOLOR = #d0d0d0= bullet to the WebPreferences to overload the site-level preferences. (Without font color control, you'll have to stick to light colors. You're no doubt familiar or better with HTML, JS, and "webmastering". Without getting into the TWikiTemplates system yet, you can easily edit the ==view.tmpl== (in the =templates= directory) for some dramatic effects. The top of the template is mostly regular HTML with some variables. Open up some space in the ==<head>== area, and you can drop in reliable <nop>JavaScripts - a pop-up window script, for example - or tag it as an external script.

	TWikiSkins	08 Jan 2003 - 07:14 - r1.11	Main.PeterThoeny
Skins are customized TWikiTemplates files. You can use skins to change the look of a TWiki 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. Use the existing TWikiTemplates (like =view.tmpl=) or skin files as a base for your own skin, name it for example =view.myskin.tmpl=. You can use [[TWikiTemplates #TemplateVariables][template variables]], TWikiVariables, and other predefined variables to compose your skins. Some commonly used variables in skins:

	TWikiUpgradeTo01Dec2001	17 Dec 2002 - 08:46 - r1.31	Main.PeterThoeny
* [[TWiki.TWikiTemplates][TWikiTemplates ]] - New, more flexible template system. Two major areas of TWiki functionality - TWikiTemplates and TWikiForms (input forms associated with a topic)- are entirely different in the new TWiki. If you've customized your templates or use Category Tables, read those sections _before_ starting your upgrade. 1. Customized templates and skins need to be upgraded to the new TWikiTemplates . This isn't difficult, but you have be familiar with the new template set-up before starting the conversion. The safest way is to use the new templates as a base and to merge your changes back. Changes in new templates: * Handling for topic-specific templates like =edit.new.tmpl= has been removed and replaced by template topics in the new TWikiTemplates .

	MainFeatures	04 Aug 2002 - 02:58 - NEW	Main.PeterThoeny
* Templates and skins: A flexible [[TWikiTemplates ][templating system]] separates program logic and presentation. [[TWikiSkins][Skins]] overwrite template headers and footers; page content is unaffected.
