John,
I'm with you 100%. A two line css entry to put in a background image requires over 300 lines in a skin. That's crazy.

I understand the advantages of skins, they are working pretty well for me. But what disappoints me is the inability to add some padding on an element, or change the height of a button, via CSS. It seems ridiculous to me to create entire skin files just to change some small aspects of a certain element. Skins are great, but couldn't we have skins AND CSS? Why are many CSS properties missing on elements? It would make my code so much more lightweight. John
