Rename the references to MonoBook within the skin files to Christmas or whatever.

What? How can I take Monobook, and then make a copy of it, and then rename the copied skin?
First, I copy the Monobook.php file and rename it to the skin name, Christmas.php. I then copy the monobook folder and rename it Christmas. Where do I go from there so that my copy of the skin works? If I just upload the Christmas.php and Christmas folder the way they are, you get an error message when you choose to use that skin!

I mean, you now modify your copy of the skin fine.

Nothing. That's the whole idea of class inheritance. You ought to find that modification of the skin will now be relatively painless.

So far, I know that you have to copy the MonoBook folder and rename
it
to
the skin name. You then have to copy Monobook.php and rename it to
the
skin
name. You then have to change the lines -
class SkinChristmas extends SkinTemplate {
/** Using monobook. */
function initPage( &$out ) {
SkinTemplate::initPage( $out );
$this->skinname = 'Christmas';
$this->stylename = 'Christmas';
$this->template = 'ChristmasTemplate';
}
}
In this example, it would make a skin called Christmas. Where do
you go
from here? What has to be modified in SkinTemplate.php and
SkinPHPTal.php?
