A paster template for creating derivative themes.

Project description

Introduction

SnakeSkin allows skin products for Plone 3 to be created easily in a similar way to the ZopeSkel plone3_theme template. The primary difference is that plone3_theme assumes either a blank theme or a customisation of the default, whereas snakeskin allows the user to select the theme he wants to customise.

This is very useful for commercial environments where a generic skin requires small modifications on a client-by-client basis.

An example using an internal teamrubber skin is:

Nimbus:teamrubber.snakeskin matthewwilkes$ paster create -t plone3_snakeskin
Selected and implied templates:
  ZopeSkel#basic_namespace               A project with a namespace package
  teamrubber.snakeskin#plone3_snakeskin  A Theme for Plone 3.1 based on another theme egg.
