Lots of times I have to create skins for pages that are only marginally different.
Only the CSS for the skins is different.

Until now I solve this like this:
1. Create different skin folders, with the same ascx file in it.
2. In the folder above I put a central CSS file
3. In every Skin.css I import the "Central css" file with an
@import "../central.css"; statement
(I don't want to change 8 skin.css files if the font should be changed from 11 to 12px)
4. All differences done through the skin.css file in the specific folder

Although this works, I suspect there must be a smarter way.
Anybody any ideas?

Thank you very much!
I used test.ascx with test.css and it functions correctly.
I remember trying this when I just started with DNN and it didn't work.
That must have been soem kind of a typo I guess...

Eh... but this still means I have to copy the same something.ascx file with different names.
(my ascx file is the same for all the skins)
Or I could use one ascx file with the right content and use an include in all the other ones, so I'll have to change only one if needed...
