Richfaces 4 - skin issue

[cohencyr4]

Hello,

I tried to optimize a skin, so I created "new_skin_name.skin.properties" with the following content:

baseSkin=blueSky

generalSizeFont=25pt

When I run the application It look likes there is no skin at all.

In web.xml, I put:

<context-param>

  <param-name>org.richfaces.skin</param-name>

  <param-value>new_skin_name</param-value>

</context-param>

The file is reconized because if I put "new_skin_nameXXX" instead of "new_skin_name" i get the error skin not found.

I've done exactly what is specified in "http://docs.jboss.org/richfaces/latest_4_2_X/Developer_Guide/en-US/html/chap-Developer_Guide-Skinning_and_theming.html"

Hi,

Make sure you have resourceOptimization  param set to false in the web.xml

<context-param>

  <param-name>org.richfaces.resourceOptimization.enabled</param-name>

  <param-value>false</param-value>

  </context-param>

There is apparently an issue with this functionnality.

I had the same issue and this solution solved it.

Hi,

If you want to use custom skins and resource optimization you will need to generate the optimized resources. I've written a post about this.
