| Skins are standard zip archives with a *.zip extension. This enables |
| them to be unpacked and installed automatically. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| To publish a skin: |
| </p> |
| <pre class="code"> |
| 1 - forrest package-skin |
| The skin package will be made in the skin dir, next to the custom skin. |
| 2 - place the file in a directory on a web server |
| 3 - ask forrest-dev to add the url and the skin name to the list of skins |
| </pre> |
| <p> |
| To use a custom skin with automatic download: |
| </p> |
| <pre class="code"> |
| 1 - set the skin property in forrest.properties to the name of the skin |
| 2 - forrest install-skin |
| 3 - forrest |
| </pre> |
| <p> |
| Currently there are two test skins: "testskin" and "testskin2" |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| To see the names of the remote skins: |
| </p> |
| <pre class="code">forrest available-skins</pre> |

| <h2 class="underlined_10">Notes</h2> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <p> |
| The skin will get blown away by the next 'build clean' in forrest. But |
| that is okay because it is so quick to go get another copy. Also it may |
| be preferable to get a fresh copy. If the user wanted to keep the skin |
| and perhaps enhance it, then they can copy it to their project. |
