 TWiki ships with a default set of template files that give a very basic, CSS-themable, look-and-feel. TWiki also includes support for _skins_ that can be selected to give different, more sophisticated, look and feels. A default TWiki installation will usually start up with the PatternSkin already selected. Skins may also be defined by third parties and loaded into a TWiki installation to give more options. To see how TWiki looks when *no* skin is selected, [[%SCRIPTURL{"view"}%/%WEB%/%TOPIC%?skin=not_a_skin][view this topic with a non-existant skin]].

 You may want to define your own skin, for example to comply with corporate web guidelines, or because you have a aesthetic vision that you want to share. There are a couple of places you an start doing this.
 
-The TWikiTemplates files used for skins are located in the =twiki/templates= directory and are named according to the skin: ==<scriptname>.<skin>.tmpl==. Skin files may also be defined in TWiki topics - see TWikiTemplates for details.

-To start creating a new skin, copy the default TWikiTemplates (like =view.tmpl=), or copy an existing skin to use as a base for your own skin. You should only need to copy the files you intend to customise, as TWiki can be configured to fall back to another skin if a template is not defined in your skin.

 If you use PatternSkin as your starting point, and you want to modify the layout, colors or even the templates to suit your own needs, have a look first at the topics PatternSkinCustomization and PatternSkinCssCookbook.

 Controlling the look and feel of attachment tables is a little bit more complex than for the rest of a skin. By default, the attachment table is a standard TWiki table, and the look is controlled in the same way as other tables. In a very few cases you may want to change the _content_ of the table as well.
 
-The format of standard attachment tables is defined through the use of special _TWiki template macros_ which by default, are defined in the =attachtables.tmpl= template using the =%TMPL:DEF= macro syntax described in TWikiTemplates. These macros are:

 TWiki uses a _skin search path_, which lets you combine skins additively. The skin path is defined using a combination of TWikiVariables and URL parameters.
 
-TWiki works by asking for a template for a particular function - for example, 'view'. The detail of how templates are searched for is described in TWikiTemplates, but in summary, the templates directory is searched for a file called <code>view.</code><i>skin</i><code>.tmpl</code>, where _skin_ is the name of the skin e.g. =pattern=. If no template is found, then the fallback is to use =view.tmpl=. Each skin on the path is searched for in turn. For example, if you have set the skin path to =local,pattern= then =view.local.tmpl= will be searched for first, then =view.pattern.tmpl= and finally =view.tmpl=.
