Skins

PmWiki makes it easy to develop and change "Skins" which alter the layout, look, and feel of the pages. You can preview available skins in the Skins Gallery in a reduced size or see how a test page looks with some assorted markup. (The old test page is still available, and here's another one.)

If you've developed a skin for PmWiki that you'd like to share, feel free to add it on the Skins Gallery! Be sure to look at skin guidelines for suggestions about creating skins that others can use.
