Can anyone provide a good explanation of:
1) What does UI mean?
User Interface
2) What is the UIManager's purpose (it seems to manage html elements, but a more detailed explanation would be great)
Basically just to suck in a property file and easily make key/value pairs available in templates.
3) What are considered UI elements ?
Whatever you want (!)
To give you an example I use UIManager to provide:
* color values for my CSS stylesheet (which is dynamically generated). I find this useful as certain colors get repeated in several styles - if I want to change that color I just need to change it in one place.
* font sizes - same same, one place to change them
* size of generated charts (obvious fairly specific to my app)
3) How do skins work? ie. What is a skin? Are they loaded for each page?
A skin is just a property file - the way I use UIManager the skin is hardcoded in TurbineResources.properties, but I think there are some changes to associate a skin with a given user's session.
What is the directory hierarchy for skins?
<web app root>/resources/ui/skins/<skin name>/skin.props
