Css elements in PatternSkin

This page is a reference for all CSS classes used in PatternSkin.

Page contents:

The PatternSkin stylesheet is divided in two files:

  • layout.css: positioning of block elements on the page
  • style.css: appearance of blocks and all other page elements

If you want to learn how to create your own look or skin based on PatternSkin, read further in PatternSkin.

Naming conventions

PatternSkin follows the naming conventions used in TWiki core code: all TWiki class names have the prefix twiki: twikiEditPage, twikiTopicAction, etcetera. ID names are not used, only class names, to allow multipe class names. See also: TWikiCss.

Namespaces

PatternSkin uses namespaces for templates, by adding one (sometimes two - multiple) class names to the template's body tag.

  • The body tag in view.pattern.tmpl for instance has the class name "twikiViewPage": <body class="twikiViewPage">. All CSS elements specific to the view template thus can be defined as .twikiViewPage .someClassName.
  • All templates that are not the view template have the body class name "twikiNoViewPage". That makes it easy to give all of these pages a different layout in one sweep (smaller or wider margins for instance). Template edit.pattern.tmpl uses <body class="twikiNoViewPage twikiEditPage">.
