Anytime you want to modify a skin component (e.g. an elements.css style sheet) which is not present amongst the properties of the XWikiSkins class, that component must be added to those properties with a pretty name equals to the capitalized filename without extension (e.g. in our elements.css example, the property name must be Elements). Whenever a baseskin is set, the baseskin component is rewritten only if the property content is not empty: e.g. the property View (corresponding to the skin component view.vm) is empty in DefaultSkin, so pages are rendered using the view.vm component from the baseskin.
