Introduction
There has been a big buzz surrounding Skinr these days especially at Drupalcon SF 2010. There is also a lot of confusion about what it actually is and does. Being that the module was developed by my fellow employee Bala Bosh and the brain child of my sister Jacine Rodriguez, I have a unique view of Skinr. I'm not too involved to the point where I can't explain the basics and how its useful for every themer.
For those of you who don't know about Skinr, in a nutshell it is a module that allows the themer to preset specific styles for content that can be applied through the UI. You can control anything with skinr that has a preprocess function - the entire page, nodes, blocks, comments, views, panels. The kinds of things you can do are limited only by your imagination.
Since its conception, Skinr has grown into a robust powerful module that every themer should know about and use.
OK, so why should I use it?
