How to - Portal Themes and Skins

[adesai]

Is there a comprehensive guide to implement custom Themes and Skins for JBoss Portal?

My specific requirement is:
1. Some of the pages are 2 columns and some are 3 columns
2. Is it something to do with region definition in CSS. if yes, how to solve achieve my goal of 2 and 3 column pages?
3 If NOT, whats the best way to handle it?

thanks for your help.

Hi there,

Themes&Skins guide mentioned here at the URL: http://docs.jboss.com/jbportal/v2.6.4/referenceGuide/html/themeandlayouts.html

is really not letting me know what all things i need to modify to change header/footer and column layouts.

Is there any guide/document which will tell me step-by-step how to change theme/layout for header/footer and columns?

There is a OLD reference guide available with the themes zip files that i downloaded from SAWP link, however it seems to be for Portal 2.x and while following the steps from it i could not find out this: $PORTAL_HOME/portal-core.war/WEB-INF/default-portal.xml

Please help. Thanks.

I learnt by the tried and trusted way of trial and error to get my required layout! Took a bit of time but it was quite straightforward in the end. I did a post for v2.4 a while back which may help you:

BTW, its mainly CSS that you need to change!
