Hi!

In the past with pydio6, I’ve always took the action.skeletion plugin as base to include my own css-file.  
Pretty simple, just renamed the skeleton-occuranced and added something like:

`<template name="head" element="ajxp_desktop" position="top"><![CDATA[<link rel="stylesheet" href="plugins/action.css/res/css/screen.css" />]]></template>`

in the manifest.xml.

I’m trying this now with pydio 8 and can’t get it to work.  
Is this css-add still possible or do I need to upgrade to the enterprise destribution?

Thanks!  
netCo

hi,  
actually it should still work ok. Did you try to simply declare your css as a “resource” in the manifest (under client\_settings tag \>\> css with attribute autoload=“true”) ? See other plugins
