A.11 adf-faces-skins.xml

The adf-faces-skins.xml file is optional; you need this file only if you are using a custom skin for your application. To create the file, simply use a text editor; store the file in /WEB-INF.

You can specify one or more custom skins in adf-faces-skins.xml.

Example A-36 Adf-faces-skins.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<skins xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/view/faces/skin">
  <skin>
    <id>purple.desktop</id>
    <family>purple</family>
    <render-kit-id>oracle.adf.desktop</render-kit-id>
    <style-sheet-name>skins/purple/purpleSkin.css</style-sheet-name>
    <bundle-name>oracle.adfdemo.view.faces.resource.SkinBundle</bundle-name>
  </skin>
</skins>
