18 1. Go the the "Logos" section of the variables
19 1. Click on the "Choose an attachment" button, just beneath the ##@logo## variable.
20 1. Select from one of the existing image attachments on the theme page.
21 1. Otherwise, if you'd like to upload a new logo image, click "Browse", choose a file from your computer and then click "Upload and select".(((

31 * Click on the "Save & View" button at the bottom of the page. Your wiki is now running under a new color scheme!(((

40
41 * define whether you want a right column, a left column, both or none
42 * set the width of these columns to small, medium or large
43 * specify the list of panels you’d like to display on both the left and the right column.(((

48

50 * Drag & Drop the panels you want to remove from the columns to the middle of the page
51 * Drag & Drop the panels you want to move from one place in the column to another
52 * Once you're happy with the result, click on "Save the new layout" at the bottom of the page. Your wiki now has new panels ordered to your preference.(((
