I am sorrythat the word "skin" I used created this misunderstanding.

What I have done with railspace is exactly what Timothy suggests,
alter the CSS, views and layouts to create a different result.
I was asking if you had a suggestion regarding the methodology,
so others may have some benefit from my changes.

From your replies it's obvious that you suggest to keep the 3 .css
files skeleton and modify them accordingly, which is what i'll try to
do.

Thanks,

Nikos
