Creating a Theme
The easiest way to create a theme is to take the existing wireframe theme, make
a copy of it with permissions intact, and then customize the copy.
If you edit the included themes instead of copying them to new themes, your edits
may be overwritten later by a software update.
To create a copy of the wireframe theme with permissions intact:
1 In Terminal, enter the following commands:
$ cd /Library/Application\ Support/Apple/WikiServer/Themes/
$ sudo ditto wireframe.wikitheme/ theme_name.wikitheme/
Replace theme_name with the name of the theme you’re creating.
If prompted, enter your administrator account password.
2 If you’re going to use Property List Editor or a non–command-line tool, copy the
theme.plist le to your Documents folder.
To copy this le, enter:
$ cp theme_name.wikitheme/theme.plist /Users/user_name/Documents/
Replace user_name with the short name of the user you’re logged in as.
For information about Property List Editor, see “About Property List Editor” on page 35.
3 Open theme.plist in Property List Editor or a text editor.
To open this le in a command-line text editor, enter:
$ sudo nano theme_name.wikitheme/theme.plist
If prompted, enter your administrator account password.
