JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform provides robust skinning support for the entire portal User Interface (UI). This includes support for skinning all of the common portal elements as well as being able to provide custom skins and window decoration for individual portlets. This has been designed with common graphic resource reuse and ease of development in mind.

- <term>Portlet Specification CSS Classes</term>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- The portlet specification defines a set of CSS classes that should be available to portlets. JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform provides these classes as part of the portal skin. This allows each portal skin to define its own look and feel for these default values.

- JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform provides a means for portlet CSS files to be loaded based on the current portal skin. This allows a portlet to provide different CSS styles to better match the current portal look and feel. Portlet skins provide a much more customizable CSS experience than just using the portlet specification CSS classes.

- The window decorators and the default portlet specification CSS classes should be considered separate types of skinning components, but they need to be included as part of the overall portal skin. The portal skin must include these components' CSS classes or they will not be displayed correctly.

<para>
A JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform skin contains CSS styles for the portal's components but also shares components that may be reused in portlets. When JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform generates a portal page markup, it inserts stylesheet links in the page's <literal>head</literal> tag.
