4.4.5. Creating and Using Your Own Skin File
To create your own skin file:
- Create a file. In it, define skin constants to be used by style classes (see Section 4.4.4, “Skin Parameters Tables in RichFaces”). The name of the skin file should follow this format:
<name>.skin.properties
. (For examples of this file, see the RichFaces predefined skin parameters:blueSky
,classic
,deepMarine
, etc. These files are located in therichfaces-impl-xxxxx.jar
archive in the/META-INF/skins
folder. - Add the skin definition
<contex-param>
to theweb.xml
of your application, like so:... <context-param> <param-name>org.richfaces.SKIN</param-name> <param-value>name</param-value> </context-param> ...
- Place your
<name>.skin.properties
file in either your/META-INF/skins
or/WEB-INF/classes
directory.
