If someone develops a skin, could there be a means of selecting alternative style sheets from within the skin and then remembering the setting? Maybe via JavaScript and a cookie?
A lot can be done to use CSS to skin a skin (so to speak). You could have a pink and green Fishbone for example. Seems to me that skins should be used more for general page layout and interface behavior, while CSS could be used to "paint" those skins with alternative color schemes, fonts and graphics.
I realize that anyone is free to modify the CSS of a given skin, but a handful of selectable style sheets for each one might go a long way to pleasing people looking for visual improvements. Might even reduce the number of skins that need to be maintained in the standard installation. I haven't played with all of them, but some seem to differ only in color scheme.
