The Skins Tab

A skin is a collection of CSS properties that can alter the look of the output by changing colors, font types, borders, margins, and paddings. This allows you to rapidly adapt the look and feel of the output for your organization.

Oxygen XML Editor provides a set of predefined skins for the DITA Map WebHelp and DITA Map WebHelp with Feedback transformation scenarios.

The predefined skins cover a wide range of chromatic themes, ranging from a very light one to a high-contrast variant. By default, the Oxygen skin is selected (notice the light blue border around the skin preview). If you want to obtain an output without any customization, deselect the currently selected skin.

To see how the skin looks when applied on a sample documentation project that is stored on the Oxygen XML Editor website, press the Online preview link.
Note: Press the Create custom skin link to open the WebHelp Skin Builder tool.
To further customize the look of the output, set the CSS File field to point to your custom CSS stylesheet or to a customized skin.
Note: A custom CSS file will overwrite a skin selection.
Note: The output can also be styled by setting the args.css parameter in the Parameters tab. The properties taken from the stylesheet referenced in this parameter take precedence over the properties declared in the skin set in the Skins tab.
