Default skins

Forrest supplies a collection of default skins which are configurable and so should meet the needs of most projects. The aim is to provide many capabilities so that extra skins are not needed.

The skin names are based on playing with the word "skin". See our technique for choosing skin names. A name with "-dev" extension signifies that it is under development. There is no concept of versions of default skins. New skins have new names.

pelt

Uses CSS "div" and no HTML tables. During its earlier development, this skin used to be called "css-style-dev".

leather-dev

This is the evolution of the "pelt" skin, to have naming conventions for css elements. It is still in development.

tigris

This skin is based on version 1.1 of the style.tigris.org project. (It deliberately contravenes our skin naming convention.)

plain-dev

This is a very minimal skin to produce plain HTML documents. Such capability might be useful to generate a collection of documents for some off-line product's user help system.

The following skins are retained for a little while longer, but are deprecated, so please move to one of the other skins.

forrest-site

This is the old skin that we have been dragging around since early days. Uses HTML tables.

krysalis-site

Uses HTML tables.
