TopBar and/or sideBar

The skin supports different layouts, enabling/disabling the left sidebar menu and the topbar menu. Users have just play with flags in the custom.fluidoSkin element in site.xml:

<project name="xxx">
  [...]
  <custom>
    <fluidoSkin>
      <topBarEnabled>true</topBarEnabled>
      <sideBarEnabled>false</sideBarEnabled>
    </fluidoSkin>
  </custom>
  [...]
</project>

That allows users having 4 skins in only 1!

1. sidebar only;
2. topbar only;
3. both side/top bars;
4. none at all.

Default skin setting is the option 1.

TopBarIcon

When users decide to enable the topbar, they can plug a small icon/logo there (typically 108*20 px) just configuring the custom.fluidoSkin.topBarIcon element in site.xml:

<project name="xxx">
  [...]
  <custom>
    <fluidoSkin>
      <topBarEnabled>true</topBarEnabled>
      <topBarIcon>
        <name>Maven Fluido Skin</name>
        <alt>Maven Fluido Skin</alt>
        <src>/images/topbar-logo.png</src>
        <href>/index.html</href>
      </topBarIcon>
    </fluidoSkin>
  </custom>
  [...]
</project>

TopBarContainerStyle

You can configure the style attribute value of the div container for your topbar

<project name="xxx">
  [...]
  <custom>
    <fluidoSkin>
      <topBarEnabled>true</topBarEnabled>
      <topBarContainerStyle>width: 90%;</topBarContainerStyle>
    </fluidoSkin>
  </custom>
  [...]
</project>

NavBarStyle

You can configure style of your top bar nav (since bootstrap 2.1.0 is not anymore black by default). Use navbar-inverse to have the black one.

<project name="xxx">
  [...]
  <custom>
    <fluidoSkin>
      <topBarEnabled>true</topBarEnabled>
      <navBarStyle>navbar-inverse</navBarStyle>
    </fluidoSkin>
  </custom>
  [...]
</project>

Configuring column class

When using sidebar, the left column used by default span3 class and body column use span9. To prevent weird/ugly result, the sum must be 12. You can change that using:

<project name="xxx">
  [...]
  <custom>
    <fluidoSkin>
      <leftColumnClass>span2</leftColumnClass>
      <bodyColumnClass>span10</bodyColumnClass>
    </fluidoSkin>
  </custom>
  [...]
</project>

GoogleSearch

Users can optionally enable the Google Search for the generated site, requirements are:

• the project.url property in pom.xml, unless the custom.fluidoSkin.googleSearch.sitesearch property is set in the site.xml:

  <project name="xxx">
    [...]
    <url>http://maven.apache.org/skins/maven-fluido-skin</url>
    [...]
  </project>

• the custom.fluidoSkin.googleSearch element in site.xml:

  <project name="xxx">
    [...]
    <custom>
      <fluidoSkin>
        <googleSearch>
          <sitesearch/>
        </googleSearch>
      </fluidoSkin>
    </custom>
    [...]
  </project>

By default, the search form:

• is not enabled; adding custom.fluidoSkin.googleSearch is enough to enable the searchbox.
• is rendered in the sidebar, if the topbar only is available it will be rendered there.

External links are either rendered in the sidebar or the topbar. When both sidebar and topbar are enabled, they are rendered as dropdown in the topbar only.

SourceLineNumbers

Source code sections are enhanced by Google Code Prettify, users can optionally enable line numbers rendering (disabled by default):

<project name="xxx">
  [...]
  <custom>
    <fluidoSkin>
      <sourceLineNumbersEnabled>true</sourceLineNumbersEnabled>
    </fluidoSkin>
  </custom>
  [...]
</project>
