DIY Plone Style
A tutorial/skeleton product for creating your own theme (visual style) for Plone.
Project Description
This product is meant to be used as a base to develop a new theme (style) or skin (in the graphical meaning) for Plone, making use of the CSS and javascript Registries that now ship with the Plone package. Since version 2.5, DIYPloneStyle installs itself by making use of a GenericSetup profile (which ships with Plone from version 2.5 on as a replacement for the Quick Installer and the Customization Policies).
Starting a new skin project is made easy by the use of a generator script that creates a skeleton theme product (Python product on the file system) ready to hold your style elements (stylesheets, images, templates).
The provided example theme can be installed as a standalone product, it is what you get after walking all the way through Alexander Limi's step by step tutorial called Putting a new look on Plone: a real-world example. It is an early version of the skin that is deployed on the plone.net web site.
Full documentation on how to make use of this product, with many pointers to other resources on how the "Skins Tool" and the "Resource Registries" work, can be found in the tutorial about Creating a Custom Style for Plone.
