RE: Practically Static Tapestry Pages (SKINNING)

Its not too hard to skin. We have it done. Just change
the getLocale() method to return a Locale that reflects
your branding/skinning. Its a cheat, but it works.

I wish Tapestry would just have a getSkin() method that
returns a String, this could be added to the locale
searching routine. You could probably add it to the
Tapestry source. I just haven't gotten around to it.

Skinning is something that I'm dearly wanting a solution to - I've made
a very embarrassing public attempt at trying to implement skinning (a
few days ago), and failed miserably - I think it may be possible with
3.1, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, just some thoughts. Best of luck.

I hadn't thought of that - it's an imaginative hack. The problem being I
need the locale as well :-(

Agreed ... When I get a little more time I'll have another look at it,
trying not to make a fool of myself at the same time.

All the best,
