| 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 | * Choose an existing image or create a new one | ||
| 18 | * Resize it so that it is 220 pixels wide and 80 pixels high | ||
| 19 | * Save it as a PNG file and name it "logo.png" | ||
| 20 | * Upload the image as an attachment on the color theme page (e.g. for the Flamingo skin ##FlamingoThemes.FlamingoDefaultTheme##) and then change the logo in the editor | ||
| 21 | ((( | ||
| 22 | {{image reference="LogoFlamingo.png"/}} | ||
| 23 | ))) | ||
| 24 | == Changing your wiki's background color == | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | If you're using the Flamingo skin, you can also change your wiki's background color pretty easily: | ||
| 27 | * Go to the Color theme page ##FlamingoThemes.FlamingoDefaultTheme## and change the colors using the editor | ||
| 28 | * Click on the "Save & View" button at the bottom of the page. Your wiki is now running under a new color scheme! | ||
