1. from what I have seen of skins, they are kind of counter to one important 
feature of PP: unobtrusiveness.  It's designed to be as out-of-the-way as 
anyone could want, with even the ability of providing functionality without 
even being visible.  Most skins I've seen for other programs (though this is a 
limited set, as I have so little interest in them) are so obnoxious, I couldn't 
switch off them fast enough.

2. As quantiworks pointed out, people would have to share, which I have done, 
but for very specific needs that would have little value outside my workgroup.  
Again, this is due to a major purpose of PP: adding "professional power" to 
Windows functionality; that of flexibility and broad-based functionality to 
address so MANY needs, that most people's configurations, even when started 
from someone else's template, may quickly become unique in many areas.
I, for example, already make extensive use of the hotkey capability built into 
Windows; so much so, in fact, that I have little need of it at home, but would 
now find it hard to function in my professional position.  I make extensive use 
of multiple desktops, with various menus customized for each.  But, for 
launching most of my programs in the course of the day, I use the handy 
"Ctrl-Alt-char" that can be attached to any Windows link.

3. Exporting is what you do to make it fully readable (and editable) in a text 
editor.  Then it can be imported to create a new, almost identical (or even 
disparate) bar/menu. I've made much use of this technique to make many similar 
menus for performing series of tasks for many windows with slightly different 
parameters.
Here's a (slightly edited) copy of my "main" bar that I have visible on all 
desktops:

[Always:Properties]
Format1 = Position: Floating SlideFrom: None
Format2 = Height: 17 MaxText: 63 Transparent: 255 HoverGradient: 7
Format3 = Hover: 0 255 255
Format4 = TopMost Tooltips AllVDesks AutoShowBar TextCenter BarSize

[1]
Label = *Info ddd MMM dd
Format = Width: 105
LCmd1 = *Bar
LParam1 = Show Test1
LCmd2 = *Bar
LParam2 = Show Test2
MCmd1 = (none)
RCmd1 = (none)

[2]
Label = *Info hh:mm
Tooltip = Utility launch menu/Snippets text paste menu/Accessories menu
Format = Width: 60
LCmd1 = *menu
LParam1 = ShowAtButton Main
MCmd1 = *VDesk
MParam1 = Menu
MHow1 =  switchto
RCmd1 = *Menu
RParam1 = Folder programs accessories
RWork1 = button Maxtext 32
RHow1 =  switchto

[3]
Label = *Info deskname
Format = Width: 130
LCmd1 = *Menu
LParam1 = Show *desk
MCmd1 = (none)
RCmd1 = (none)

You could copy the above text into a file, then import it into your 
configuration, and you'd have a menu called "Always" that does pretty much what 
mine does.

4. Again, quantiworks gave a good answer on this; and, there truly are multiple 
ways of accomplishing this.  Including NOT using PP.
For example, I keep my most-used sites at the top of my bookmarks menu in 
Firefox.  While Alt-B displays that menu (similar to how you'd invoke a PP 
menu), right-clicking the item I want gives me a menu from which I can hit "N" 
to open it in a New window, or "W" to do so in a neW tab (and it switches to 
that tab or window).
PP would only save me the mouse click, as long as the menu wasn't so big as to 
negate value to menu keys.

I hope you've found this helpful, though admittedly long-winded.
