| 13 | == Changing the logo == | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | Many methods can be used to change your wiki's logo. The method described here is the simplest of all: | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | 1. Edit the currently used Flamingo Theme (by going to ##Administration > Look & Feel > Themes > Color Theme > Customize##) | ||
| 18 | 1. Go the the "Logos" section of the variables | ||
| 19 | 1. Click on the "Choose an attachment" button, just beneath the ##@logo## variable. | ||
| 20 | 1. Select from one of the existing image attachments on the theme page. | ||
| 21 | 1. Otherwise, if you'd like to upload a new logo image, click "Browse", choose a file from your computer and then click "Upload and select".((( | ||

| 25 | == Changing your wiki's background color == | ||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | If you're using the Flamingo skin, you can also change your wiki's background color pretty easily: | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | * Go to the currently used Flamingo Theme as before | ||
| 30 | * Change the colors from the “Base color” section in the editor | ||
| 31 | * Click on the "Save & View" button at the bottom of the page. Your wiki is now running under a new color scheme!((( | ||

| 34 | |||
| 35 | == Changing your wiki's panels == | ||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | In XWiki you can add panels to enhance the look and navigation of your wiki. | ||
| 38 | |||
| 39 | Go to the “Page Layout” tab ( ##Administration > Look & Feel > Panels##). The "Page Layout" tab allows you to | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | * define whether you want a right column, a left column, both or none | ||
| 42 | * set the width of these columns to small, medium or large | ||
| 43 | * specify the list of panels you’d like to display on both the left and the right column.((( | ||
| 44 | {{image reference="PageLayoutFlamingo.png"/}} | ||
| 45 | ))) | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | The "Panel List" tab allows you to select which panels you want to display. | ||
| 48 | |||
| 49 | * Drag & Drop the panels you want to use from the middle of the page to the columns | ||
| 50 | * Drag & Drop the panels you want to remove from the columns to the middle of the page | ||
| 51 | * Drag & Drop the panels you want to move from one place in the column to another | ||
| 52 | * Once you're happy with the result, click on "Save the new layout" at the bottom of the page. Your wiki now has new panels ordered to your preference.((( | ||
