I've found the skinning methodology in Jetspeed to be awkward, at best.
Take a look at how uPortal ( http://mis105.mis.udel.edu/ja-sig/uportal/
<http://mis105.mis.udel.edu/ja-sig/uportal/> and
http://mis105.mis.udel.edu/ja-sig/uportal/developers/looknfeel.pdf
<http://mis105.mis.udel.edu/ja-sig/uportal/developers/looknfeel.pdf> ) does
its skinning. Each skin is a directory, each directory contains all the
.css and image files necessary for the theme, skins are swapped by changing
a single variable which then makes all the appropriate relative directory
references. Much cleaner than the embedded style declarations in Jetspeed,
IMHO.
