Changing the logo and the panels

Changing the logo and the panels are the first actions you are likely to undertake when starting a new wiki. The following explanations apply to the Flamingo skin.

The following explanations provide you with basic guidelines. Please refer to the skin page and the complete skinning guide on XWiki.org if you're willing to heavily customize your wiki.

Changing the logo

Many methods can be used to change your wiki's logo. The method described here is the simplest of all:

1. Edit the currently used Flamingo Theme (by going to Administration > Look & Feel > Themes > Color Theme > Customize) The default Flamingo Theme on a new instance is named Iceberg.
2. Go the the "Logos" section of the theme variables
3. Click on the "Choose an attachment" button, just beneath the @logo variable.
4. Select from one of the existing image attachments on the theme page.
5. Otherwise, if you'd like to upload a new logo image, click "Browse", choose a file from your computer and then click "Upload and select".

   

Changing your wiki's background color

If you're using the Flamingo skin, you can also change your wiki's background color pretty easily:

• Go to the currently used Flamingo Theme as before
• Change the @body-bg color from the “Base color” section in the editor
• Click on the "Save & View" button at the bottom of the page. Your wiki is now running under a new color scheme!
