Modifying pelt skin: Looking for the corner-pngs and others
I am modifying the css-files for the pelt skin in order to create my own skin
(especially in order to prevent update problems).
In screen.css I find some curious named pictures, for example
rc-t-r-15-1body-2menu-3menu.png but I can't find them in the images
directory.
My question is: How can I modify them because the color of these pictures
doesn't fit to my skin?
TIA,
Stephan

Thank you for the info: I already searched the developers mailing list but
with the wrong terms ;-)

That is an excellent addition, thanks. I have committed
it to the trunk 0.7-dev. I made some formatting and content
changes, so move your version out of the way before doing
the 'svn update'.
I changed the tone of the document a bit so that it
focused on users configuring the skin colours, rather
than developers needing to create new skins. We really
would rather encourage people to work with the existing
skins before rushing of to create new ones.
There was one problem which caused cocoon to break with
an un-intelligible error:
<a href="site:your-project#skins">Forrest skins</a>
which should be
<a href="site:your-project/skins">Forrest skins</a>
The latter works because that uri is defined in site.xml
There is a registered Jira issue about the # fragment identifiers.

One tip about your patch:
Better to use a fixed line-width. For example, word-wrap at 80 chars.
rather than having multi-line paragraphs. This might sound pedantic
but it is not. The important reason is that when future changes
are committed, we can easily see the differences. With multi-line
paragraphs it is impossible to see what is changed. There is too
much clutter.
It is a committers job to ensure this, but developers can
make the process more efficient.

Hm, Thorsten submitted an offer I can't reject :-)
I created a new issue at the issue tracker:
http://issues.cocoondev.org/browse/FOR-351
As an attachment to this issue you find the how-to for modifing the colors of
corner images.
Praise Thorsten for his very helpful hints and blame me for any bugs in this
how-to (and for my poor English, too).

I don't recall where those are stored, but I *believe* those relate to
the 'corners' (rounded corners to be precise) which are applied to the
tabs and the bottom of the site nav.
From http://forrest.apache.org/skin/screen.css
* Round corner
