This is the first suggestion for an enhancement, provide feedback if you want.

Classes to address all instances of a module
You can skin a module through it's container, but let's say you would want to make all Survey modules background green.
There is no way to automate this ATM (unless the module supports templates).

You can address a specific module through the id of the containing div, it's something like: "dnn_ctr1248_ModuleContent"
Solution:
 IMO the core should add a modules name as a class to the div
<div class="module_announcements" id="module_id">
.....
..... Module content
.....
</div>
That way you can address all instances of a module or a specific one and it works for modules without templating too.
(or all announcements modules in rightpanes, etc.)

e.g. All modules should use this class in module.css, so Module css cannot influence anything outside the module.

Effort: Low
Risk to break existing skins: None

got my vote

 

in ascx skins you can do it like

div id="mod_<%= DotNetNuke.UI.Containers.Container.GetPortalModuleBase(dnnTitle).ModuleId.ToString() %>"

 

and style with #mod_123{background-color:lime;}

Get my new skin ( lots of design variations [18 headers, 30 titlebars, 30 breadcrumbs, 3 footers ], 50+ typography containers , 50+ page templates and an online theme builder for unlimited skin variations) Aura>

For all your skin conversions

Timo,

If I understand this correctly then you would see the end resulting design as

<div id="dnn_ctr370_ModuleContent" class="Module_Announcement">
         <!-- Module Content Here -->
</div>

If that is the case I can't see any issue here at all, this would actually make things somewhat nice.

Now if I recall my CSS correctly this would also allow developers to nest classes two levels deep.
