Files for the Skin¶
These files and directories will be relevant when working on the Skin part of your theme.
/skins/[your theme namespace].[your theme name]_custom_templates | custom_images | styles
These directories will form your skin layers. Your templates, images, and stylesheets can go here. If you asked it to, the plone3_theme paster template will have provided blank style sheets to override the Plone Default ones.
/skins.zcml
When your Zope instance starts up, this turns your directories into skin layers
/profiles/default/skins.xml | cssregistry.xml | jsregistry.xml
When your theme is installed in your Plone site, this sets up the hierarchy of skin layers, and registers your style sheets and JavaScript with the registries
