Abstract:
How to quickly and easily change the skin parameters (colors) of a Backbase application using the chameleon skin.

Background:
Any backbase application using the chameleon skin loads a b:skinSettings widget which sets the color preferences by creating/rendering css styles.

Example:
(note: please remember to change the declared namespace to match your own, both in step #1 as well as in step #2)

1. Place a skins value changer by using a select with a behavior, placed anywhere in your application.

2. Create a skin.xml file to store the behavior that implements the change listener for the select (defined in step 1)

note: External File [skin.xml]

3. Include the skin.xml file into your application using a include ( ). You have to do this in file that is accessed or included on every page in the application -- the main page in a Single Page Interface (SPI) or in the header/footer or other common behaviors file in an MPI. You can also use this method in JSF by simply wrapping the xi:include code in f:verbatim (as shown below).
