Plone is poorly designed if you want to reskin it. It's a pain. But there's also a lot I like (and dislike) about it.
can you please clarify that statement a bit? plone was designed to be easily redesigned with css, by letting to do the major work to the inital skin, which makes skin development much faster and easier once you got into it.
we think that recreating a whole skin for a cms all the time, while letting the skin do the same over and over again, is suboptimal so we created a powerfull initial skin to support the design and ui workflow. this also has the advantage of you customizing the other software that you plug in automatically, because it uses the same styles and "internal standards" of plone (at least, the software should).
i'd be interested in other comments and opinions regarding these initial skin issues. what do you prefer, a powerfull skin that lets you work faster, or creating a complete skin especially for a project which you then have the complete control over?
