            xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="PortalConfig_6.1.0.xsd"
            type="update" 
            create-oids="true">
   
      <portal action="locate">
      
         <!--
         Sample for deploying themes and skins in an XML script. 
         This only creates the database entries;
   
         You still need to provide the rendering JSPs under 
         the resource root directories specified in the XML. 
         -->
         
         <skin action="update" 
               active="true" 
               objectid="NoSkin" 
               uniquename="wps.skin.noSkin" 
               resourceroot="NoSkin" >
         
             <localedata locale="en">
             <title>NoSkin</title>
             <description>A skin with no skin</description>
             </localedata>
         
         </skin>
         
         <theme action="update" 
                active="true" 
                defaultskinref="NoSkin" 
                uniquename="ibm.portal.theme.Your_Theme" 
                resourceroot="yourtheme" 
                context-root="/yourtheme">
         
            <localedata locale="en">
               <title>Your_Theme</title>
            </localedata>
            
            <!--
            There's only one skin that may be combined with this theme. 
            -->
            
            <allowed-skin skin="NoSkin" update="set"/>
