This is a nice proposal. To make a new skin, anyone can just check it in the jakarta-avalon and test it with the -Duse.skin=XXX trick. To see how to write a skin, the basic skin is there for this purpose. Personally this doesn't give me an itch, the avalon-site skin is ok for me, but if someone makes up an image with the possible view made from the combination of the skins, it would be easy to make it. -- Nicola Ken Barozzi nicolaken@apache.org - verba volant, scripta manent - (discussions get forgotten, just code remains) --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:
