Skinning Deki Wiki
DamienH @ 5:17 pm
I’m sure by now that most of you have have and interest in changing the look and feel of Deki Wiki. Well I come with good news. I have developed a tutorial/guide in order to walk you through all the necessary steps to skin your wiki. The tutorial covers everything that you will need to know about skinning Deki Wiki using the base.php template including:
- The Tutorial
- Hierarchical List of Elements
- Skinning Kick Start - CSS
- Variables
- Skin Gallery
Tutorial: http://wiki.opengarden.org/Deki_Wiki/Skinning
categories: MindTouch
A listing of some well-skinned sites to look at would be great - other Wikis show a gallery of mods that people have made. Looking at Deki sites makes you think all you can do is change a couple fonts or colors.

Thanks for the suggestion. I agree. At some point MindTouch will need to provide a directory of sites and a place for folks to submit skins. We’ll get to it next year for sure. There are many thousands of Deki Wiki’s in the wild now. As you likely know the software is totally customizable. Just look at http://www.MindTouch.com , http://wiki.oblogn.com , http://wiki.amplifysd.com, etc. They’re all dramatically different representations of Deki Wiki.
