Defining custom skins
To create a custom skin that you specify in the
cf_webRoot/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/FCKeditor/editor/skins directory. The name of this subdirectory is the name that you
use to specify the skin in the
the following files:
• fck_editor.css: Defines the main interface, including the toolbar, its items (like, buttons, panels) and the context menu.
• fck_dialog.css: Defines the basic structure of dialog boxes (standard for all dialogs).
• fck_strip.gif: Defines the Default toolbar buttons and context menu icons. It is a vertical image that contains all
icons placed one above the other. Each icon must correspond to a 16x16 pixels image. You can add custom images
to this strip.
• images/toolbar.buttonarrow.gif: Defines the small arrow image used in the toolbar combos and panel buttons.
Place all other images used by the skin (that are specified in the CSS files) in the images subfolder.
The most common way of customizing the skin is to change the fck_editor.css and fck_dialog.css files. For information
on the skin format and contents, see the comments in those files.
