12.5. Skin config file
For certain web sites, you may want particular categories or
products to use a different skin to that of the main site. This allows
you to create a completely separate look and feel for a part of your

the site for a particular customer, so major customers have their own
customized version of the site.
This can be done through a Skins.config file added into the /Skins folder. It looks something like this:
This can be done through a Skins.config file added into the /Skins folder. It looks something like this:

</CustomerSkinRules>
<CustomerGroupSkinRules>
<CustomerGroup ID="456" SkinName="AnotherSkin"/>
</CustomerGroupSkinRules>
<ProductSkinRules>
<Product ID="789" SkinName="SkinNumber3"/>
</ProductSkinRules>
<CategorySkinRules>
<Category ID="100" SkinName="BlackAndOrange"/>
</CategorySkinRules>
<ScriptSkinRules>
<Script Name="Basket.aspx" SkinName="BasketSkin"/>
</ScriptSkinRules>
</configuration>
You can add multiple tags into each section.
Note: The tags in the Skins.config are case sensitive. If settings are not working as expected, check the case of tags carefully to ensure tag names and values match those above.
