---+!! Pattern skin

*<nop>PatternSkin provides a CSS based default look and feel for TWiki - flexible and <nop>W3C-compliant.* Its layout and color scheme are designed to provide a nice, clean and productive _editing environment_. For use in corporate or perhaps in personal websites it should be fairly easy to tune the looks or even create a !PatternSkin-based new skin.

---++ Installation

*Note:* You do not need to install anything on the browser to use this skin. The following instructions are for the administrator who installs the skin on the server where TWiki is running.

*Note 2:* !PatternSkin is included with TWiki by default. Use the following instructions only if you are upgrading !PatternSkin.

   * Download the ZIP file from the Skin Home page (see below)
   * Unzip ==%TOPIC%.zip== in your twiki installation directory
   * Test if installed: %SCRIPTURLPATH{"view"}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?skin=pattern
   * For skin activation see %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiSkins

---+++ Troubleshooting

If you have set the SKIN variable setting to =pattern= and you still don't see the layout as on the <a href="%ATTACHURL%/patternskin_screenshot_full.png">screenshot</a>, a few settings in may have been disabled.

Check these variables here:
   * TWIKILAYOUTURL = %TWIKILAYOUTURL%
   * TWIKISTYLEURL = %TWIKISTYLEURL%
   * TWIKICOLORSURL = %TWIKICOLORSURL%
   * SKIN = %SKIN%

If TWIKILAYOUTURL or TWIKISTYLEURL don't give a value or point to non-existing files, check in %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiPreferences that the following variables do exist and that they are set to on:
<pre>
   * %<nop>TWIKIWEB%.PatternSkin settings:
      * <nop>Set TWIKILAYOUTURL = %<nop>PUBURLPATH%/%<nop>TWIKIWEB%/PatternSkin/layout.css
      * <nop>Set TWIKISTYLEURL = %<nop>PUBURLPATH%/%<nop>TWIKIWEB%/PatternSkin/style.css
      * <nop>Set TWIKICOLORSURL = %<nop>PUBURLPATH%/%<nop>TWIKIWEB%/PatternSkin/colors.css
</pre>

*NOTE:* customization of these values should be done in [[%MAINWEB%.TWikiPreferences]]

If this still does not work, contact the administrator who installs skins.
