Plone theming for mortals: A simple example to get you started quickly with your own public skin

collective.skinny

An example implementation of a separate, public-facing skin as discussed at:

Look at the package’s configure.zcml file for instructions on how to activate the public skin to actually see it.

You can use this package either as a template to copy and modify, or use it as it is and extend within your own package.

If you decide to extend this with your own package, which is probably the cleaner way of doing it, You can start out by overriding the index.html view, and thus the main.Main class in your overrides.zcml file, using directives as you find them in them in this package’s configure.zcml. You can then subclass the main.Main browser view and code away.
