To put it simply:
1. Oracle ADF-Faces 10.1.x became Trinidad. Since the donation,
ADFFaces 10.1.x has only evolved with bug fixes whereas Trinidad has
evolved quite a bit since the donation with the help of the Apache
Community.
2. Oracle ADF-Faces 11 (a.k.a. the Rich Client) is an EXTENSION on
Trinidad. It has support for Oracle proprietary technologies and a much
more interactive computing environment. In edition to a much more
flexible model on the client (browser) it also has push technologies.
So while Trinidad supports AJAX AND skinning, the RichClient supports
many more skinning choices and a much richer ajax.
3. My understanding is that Oracle has plans to donate the RichClient
(well, at least the non-oracle parts) to Apache as an incubator
project. As Matthias said, however, 99% of the API is the same between
the two renderkits, so switching from Trinidad TO ADF-Faces 11 should be
pretty easy.
I personally would avoid ADFFaces 10 however. Although that renderkit
is supported by Oracle, it's not under active development. Whereas both
Trinidad and ADF-Faces 11 are by their respective groups.
Make sense?

Yes,
the dev guide tells you pretty much about the skin.
I created a demo (facesgoodies) that shows how-to get up speedy
w/ JSF+Trinidad+Spring etc.
It shows a simple (first step) skin; and easy Facelets-Custom-Components.
Perhaps you might check it:

About the skin: I don't know what it takes to build a skin. Is it just CSS
or is there more JSF specific stuff? ... I guess I'll have to go research
it.
