12 A Skin can be changed at different levels:
13 * For the whole wiki,
14 * For a given space,
15 * For a given user
16
17 In order to change the Skin at wiki and space level, the user has to be an administrator for the current XWiki Enterprise instance. To find more about how to change a skin, check the [[How to change the Skin>>AdminGuide.Skins#s3]] section in the Admin Guide.

21 For example, if you want to use the (% class="sectionblockcodecolored"%)toucan(%%) Skin for a specific (% class="sectionblockcodecolored"%)user(%%), follow these steps:
22 1. go to the user's (% class="sectionblockcodecolored"%)profile(%%) page
23 1. edit the document's objects ( if you are in edit mode, use the right panel and choose the (% class="sectionblockcodecolored"%)Objects(%%) editor, or, if you are in view mode, use the top-left menu: (% class="sectionblockcodecolored"%)EDIT -> OBJECTS(%%))
24 1. set the value of the (% class="sectionblockcodecolored"%)skin(%%) property (under 'Objects of type XWiki.XWikiUsers') as being (% class="sectionblockcodecolored"%)toucan(%%)
25 1. save the document
26
27 Now, all the pages inside the wiki will have the (% class="sectionblockcodecolored"%)toucan(%%) Skin applied on them for that user.

35 **Skins eXtensions** (or, abbreviated **SX**) are an alternative for developers who want to modify the layout and behavior of certain or all documents in their wiki without the need of changing its skin templates and/or stylesheets. The Skin eXtensions mechanism, available in all versions of XWiki superior to 1.5, provide the developers with the possibility of pulling extra stylesheets and Javascript files that are not bundled with the skin. You can find out more about Skin eXtensisions by reading the [[Skin eXtensions Tutorial in the Developer Guide>>DevGuide.SkinExtensionsTutorial]].
