Paul, 

Basically all I am looking for is to apply any visual changes to the entire
screen.  When the root portletSet is skinned, all of its children portlets and
sets inherit that skin.  What I am looking for is a way to extend that change
outside of the portlet container.  For example if the user chooses a skin with
green text color, I would like the text in the three navigations (top, left,
and bottom) to update to green as well.

After looking through the documentation it looks like there might be a way to
retrieve the skin, and at first glance it seems to work...

#set( $profile = $data.getProfile())
#set( $doc = $profile.getDocument())
#set( $portlets = $doc.getPortlets(0)) ## perhaps by name?
#set( $skin = $portlets.getSkin())
#set( $skinName = $skin.getName())

Confusing, but it seems to work.  Do you see any potential problems with this?

Thanks,
Akihiko
