Plug-n-Skin: Use non standard skin as baseSkin.

[luc4]

Hi,

today i tried to create a new skin that uses the laguna skin as base.
I followed the description in the reference docs:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.richfaces.cdk -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-plug-n-skin -DarchetypeVersion=3.3.2.CR1 -DartifactId=New-Skin -DgroupId=org.richfaces.skins -DVersion=1.0-SNAPSHOT -DarchetypeRepository=http://repository.jboss.com/maven2

followed by

mvn cdk:add-skin -Dname=extLaguna -DbaseSkin=laguna -DcreateExt=true

I get no errors during the build and if the laguna.jar is placed in the /WEB-INF/lib directory the before created skin works.

But there are some differences to the 'plain' laguna skin:
1. There are no gradient backround images for the content sections (like .rich-panel-body etc.).
2. The borders looks different.

I looked in the laguna.jar and tried to copy the properties for gradient(intShadow) and the border(newBorder) from the laguna.skin.properties file. But it doesn't helped. :(

It's ever possible to extened an non standard skin with Plug-n-Skin?

Thanks Luca

Or the other question can be, where i can find the maven project for the laguna skin? ;)

Hi abelevich,

thx for pointing me to the correct direction. I solved it before through copy the content of the xcss files (from laguna skin) to a self created skin (baseSkin=blueSky).
