| If you want to learn how to create your own look or skin based on PatternSkin, read further in PatternSkin.
Naming conventions
- All PatternSkin specific classes have the prefix
pattern : patternEditPage, patternTopicAction, etcetera.
- TWiki specific classes (emitted by the TWiki engine) have the prefix
twiki : twikiButton, twikiToc, etcetera. See for a complete list TWikiCss.
- Positional containers are referred by id, for instance
#patternLeftBar .
Namespaces
PatternSkin uses namespaces for templates, by adding one (sometimes two - multiple) class names to the template's body tag.
- The body tag in view.pattern.tmpl for instance has the class name "patternViewPage":
<body class="patternViewPage"> . All CSS elements specific to the view template thus can be defined as .patternViewPage .someClassName .
- All templates that are not the view template have the body class name "patternNoViewPage". That makes it easy to give all of these pages a different layout (smaller or wider margins for instance) in one sweep. Template edit.pattern.tmpl uses
<body class="patternNoViewPage patternEditPage"> .
