    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-1169?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12434956#action_12434956 ] 

Dan Allen commented on JBIDE-1169:
----------------------------------

I wouldn't really worry about the custom, runtime manipulation of styles at this point. As a first step, I would say that you need to pick up the skin from web.xml (it is not in faces-config.xml) and get the styles that are used for the skin. You could even have a setting in a JBoss Tools property sheet where the user can enter a skin override.

In the end, a skin is nothing more than a Java properties file which is fed into the XCSS files for processing. Rather than having to render the components, you could simply grab the XCSS file for a given component from the classpath and process it.

Additionally, the VPE should process a custom XCSS file (declared using <a:loadStyle src="resource:///stylesheet/custom.xcss"/>), apply the skin Java properties file to get a CSS file that is fed into the HTML rendering engine.

> In the current VPE the richfaces components are shown with gray color. It will be more WYSISWYG if the components are shown with the colors from the selected in web.xml richfaces skin.
