I'm sure this has been asked before, since it seems like a very common desire, but I just cannot find a good way of wording my searches to find one way or the other if this can be done.
I have a web application with five different themes. I broke up my skin files up by control, so each theme has about 6 or 7 skin files. In each one of those skin files, maybe 2 or 3 skin declarations will differ between themes. I would really like to
not have duplicate my modification of a non-theme specific control skin declaration five times, everytime. Is there a way to have some skin declarations accessible from all themes for the ones that all the themes share, then only the ones specific to that
theme in a separate file?
Thank you for any help you can provide. Please, if it just can't be done, let me know, I'm been searching like crazy.

Hi,
Normally, the skin file have to work contained in the theme folder..
You can share the theme, but it seems that it is not possible to share the skin file across the themes.
hope it helps.
