Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called Poncho in your skins/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:

wfLoadSkin( 'Poncho' );

•  Done - Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the skin is successfully installed.

Configuration

Poncho should work out of the box without any configuration. However, the following options may be useful:

• $wgPonchoLogo - Set a logo specific for Poncho. Useful when the logo for other skins isn't fit for Poncho.
• $wgPonchoSitename - Set a site name specific for Poncho. Set it to an empty string if your logo already includes the site name or set it to an abbreviated version of the site name if the full version breaks the layout per being too long.
