# A.12 adf-faces-skins.xml

The `adf-faces-skins.xml` file is optional; you need this file only if you are using a custom skin for your application. To create the file, simply use a text editor; store the file in `/WEB-INF`.

You can specify one or more custom skins in `adf-faces-skins.xml`.

Example A-40 Adf-faces-skins.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
    <skins xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/view/faces/skin">
      <skin>
        <id>purple.desktop</id>
        <family>purple</family>
        <render-kit-id>oracle.adf.desktop</render-kit-id>
        <style-sheet-name>skins/purple/purpleSkin.css</style-sheet-name>
        <bundle-name>oracle.adfdemo.view.faces.resource.SkinBundle</bundle-name>
      </skin>
    </skins>

## A.12.1 Tasks Supported by adf-faces-skins.xml

The value of `<family>` is what you would specify in `adf-faces-config.xml` for the `<skin-family>` element when you wish to configure your application to use a custom skin. See Section A.11.1.6, "Configuring the Skin Family".

For information about creating custom skins, see Section 14.3, "Using Skins to Change the Look and Feel".
