Hi Gregor, That's a good point. The CSS identifiers don't change that often.
Though they do occasionally change. In Mahara 15.04 we're rewriting the whole front end to use the Bootstrap CSS framework, so there may well be some big changes coming. Perhaps what we should do, is add additional classes specifically as a "handle" for skins? But yeah, this might be useful to discuss at the next dev meeting. I'll add it to the agenda.

And these both change, sometimes radically, from one major version of Mahara to the next. This means that skins will break when you do a major version upgrade (unless the skin author edits the skin to be compatible with the new version). And that could provide quite a disincentive for people to upgrade their Mahara site. I'm not sure what the best solution for this problem is, so I'm opening this bug partly to discuss the issue.
