forrest itself is a quite valuable tool for me.
but the support through this newsgroup is less than optimal!

Thanks Stefano for your calm and helpful answer.

Eike, it was interesting. I had deleted your message
because it looked like spam, based on the subject line.
Shouting at us will get you nowhere. You were lucky
in this case that some kind soul went out of their way
to answer you.

[Eike Stepper <st...@sympedia.com>]

thanks for the info!

and sorry for my BIG subject.
it's only because i'm totally new to all this forrest and cocoon
stuff. i'm conducting several open source projects myself and
am quite in a hurry. i like to use forrest so that it helps me make
things more efficient. i'm sure that it _can_, but it's really
frustrating to see that i'm not able at least to change something to
"courier".

i'm calm again and my doc told me not to rush anymore ;-))

cheers

Yeah, but that is really a piece of cake. ;-) One main advantage of 
using svn-trunk is that you have the new version of the skinconf and the 
new skins (e.g. pelt is all div based no tables at all). We are really 
working to enhance that to come to the point that you nearly only have 
to edit your own css-elements and alter the style of your site. No 
editing of skins or forrest dis files.

Have a look at http://forrest.apache.org/build.html to get started.
BTW the docu is reflecting the trunk rather then any specific release.

If you have any question feel free to ask we will try to help ASAP. ;-)

King regards

I would just suggest a minor change to how it works now:
put the extra-css at the end of the generated page.css so users
can override easily the forrest classes in skinconf.xml
(this is done in forrest.css.xslt).
see 
http://issues.apache.org/eyebrowse/BrowseList?listName=user@forrest.apache.org&by=thread&from=875778

Cheers,
Johannes

Yes. If people don't mention which version of Forrest,
then we just assume the trunk of SVN development.
That is what the website docs refer to.

Cool. I didn't know that (I'm a novice too).
I'm using the current official release (0.5.1) and my skinconf.xml 
(generated by 'forrest seed') doesn't contain that. Obviously the online 
docs do mention it.
Do I have to build from SVN to use it?

No need to complain, you are already getting more than you pay for.

>>>i'm using the krysalis skin and i wonder how i can

>>seems to be tigris skin, not krysalis...

Try adding this line:

.codefrag { font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; }

inside this file:

<forrest-install-dir>\context\skins\avalon-tigris\css\mysite.css

It worked for me.
