Why would I create skins?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Using skins is more maintainable that editing the theme directly.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you are editing the theme, then when a new version of the theme comes out, you need to remember all the changes you made\npreviously and apply them to the upgraded theme.  Tracking down the changes can be a real pain.<\/p>\n\n<p>If instead of editing the theme, you create a skin, then when a new version of the theme comes out, you can\njust copy your skins into the new theme.  A few tweeks of your skin and the upgrade should be complete.  Nice!<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>Can I skin a skin?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Yes you can. Just create a skin for the same theme and in the header of the 'style.css' file add\n    Parent Skin: skinname<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>How do I put a skin switcher on my page, without using widgets?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Edit the theme you are using and place <code>&lt;?php skinner_skin_switcher() ?&gt;<\/code> where\nyou would like the skin switcher to appear.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>I'm a theme maintainer. Why would I create skins?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Using skins for your themes allows you maintain a single code base for the theme, but have a number of variations to it's\nlook and feel. e.g., your theme might be blue by default, but you could have a green, yellow and pink skin.\nBy providing skins for your theme, you can make it more applealing to a larger group of people, with very little extra work.\n<a href=\"http:\/\/windyroad.org\/software\/wordpress\/vistered-little-theme\">Vistered Little<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/jsbox.net\/dl\">JSBox<\/a>\nare both great examples of skinned themes.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt>How do I find out what CSS selectors to use to modify a specific element on the page?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>Go and grab Firebug is you are using Firefox, of IE Developer Toolbar\nif you are using IE.  Both of these plugins will allow you to inspect\nan element to find out what <code>id<\/code> and\/or <code>class<\/code> it has and what CSS\nis currently applied to the element.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>","raw_excerpt":"The Skinner plugin adds skin selection and editing to WordPress for Skinner compatible themes.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/1684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1684"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/tompahoward"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=1684"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=1684"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=1684"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=1684"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=1684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
