Skins referenced with <link>-tags don't work anymore

[guest]

I was using 0.92beta with success. With 0.93 or latest nightly build skins don't work anymore : the toolbar background and panel background stays in their default color.

Are you loading the stylesheet directly, or using

{{{_editor_skin='blue-look';]}}

(substitute whatever skin name). Whichever method you are using, Try the other one.

I ran into this, too. It's because the new method for loading stylesheets is not backwards compatible by default with the old way. The old way was with < link > tags, with the link for the skin placed after the main stylesheet. If you use the old method with 0.93, with no _editor_css and _editor_skin config parameters specified, the new method will always try to load Xinha.css again unless you set the id for the link tag to 'id="XinhaCoreDesign?". This will revert any css entries that were overridden in the skin.

The workaround is either to set the id as above, or switch to the new method. A permanent backwards-compatible fix would probably have to loop through all the link tags and check the hrefs before (re)loading Xinha.css.

A related problem I found is that you cannot use the skin to modify the style of the loading messages with 0.93, because the skin styles are loaded too late in the start-up sequence (after a bunch of plugins). That can be fixed by moving the block of code that loads the skin to immediately after the code that loads the main stylesheet.

Both problems fixed in changeset:826.

That's actually changeset:834 I think :)

It's still not possible to define a skin using a static <link rel="stylesheet">. See http://xinha.gogo.co.nz/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=1070

fixed rev [878]: Xinha.css is now prepended before any stylesheets that are already defined thusly allow these to override the standard style rules
