-**PatternSkin is developed to provide a CSS based default look and feel for TWiki - flexible and [[W3C]]-compliant.** Its layout and color scheme are designed to provide a nice, clean and productive _editing environment_. For use in corporate or perhaps in personal websites it should be fairly easy to tune the looks or even create a PatternSkin-based new skin.
