Basic Example

Set the skin to be MYSKIN.

<ac:macro ac:name="use-skin"> <ac:parameter ac:name="skin">MYSKIN</ac:parameter> </ac:macro> {use-skin:skin=MYSKIN}

This results in the skin being switched from the default to the one named in the macro, overriding anything set by ThemeBuilder.

Advanced Example

Use a previously set flag to switch the skin in Edit mode. See Set Flag for more on how to set a flag.

<ac:macro ac:name="use-skin"> <ac:parameter ac:name="skin">MYSKIN</ac:parameter> <ac:parameter ac:name="flag">edit</ac:parameter> </ac:macro> {use-skin:skin=MYSKIN|flag=edit}


This results in the skin being switched from the default to the one named in the macro if the flag edit is true, overriding anything set by ThemeBuilder.
