[pmwiki-users] How to change the background color for a given group without defining another skin ?

[Ben Wilson]

I'm not sure if I'm helping the process, but you have either
PmWiki:PerGroupCustomizations[1] or PmWiki:Skins.[2] The former
discusses how to create configuration files on a per-group basis. This
essentially requires adding a local/GroupName.php file with the
differences in configuration from local/config.php. The latter
discusses skinning in general, but offers this:

Q: How can I modify an existing skin?
A: There are a number of ways to further customize the appearance of a
skin, including...
    * adding css files to /pub/css/, such as local.css (for your
entire wiki) and MyGroup.css (for MyGroup);....

Again, the GroupName.css should include only the difference from the
Skin's css. This is classic OO inheritance behavior.

Hope this helps,
Ben Wilson
