As with anything there are many ways to approach this problem.
One that I may suggest using would be to create a "display layout"
event for each skin you have. Have these "display layout" events
accept generic event arguments provided by the rest of your Mach-II
code and output them accordingly within a view. Once this is
accomplished, for every event you wish to skin, have it invoke a
filter which would contain the logic required to select which skin you
wish to use. Once you've determined which skin to use, simply call
announceEvent to the new "display layout" event that you've created
for that particular skin (and make sure you pass along the event
arguments as well).
For example, for all of your skinnable events, save the view output to
a contentArg, say 'pageContent' and then within your skin's view
simply output that contentArg (e.g. #request.event.getArg
('pageContent')#).
