Comment 3 for bug 1237013

On the other hand, the current system could be confusing too. Consider: the site is set to a theme where the Skins CSS stylesheet has been blanked. Users create pages, and pick skins for them, but this has no effect on the page! That's pretty confusing as well.

So I don't know, maybe it is a good idea. Perhaps with some logic so that under certain circumstances you can still see the Skins pages, but with a message that says "Skins are disabled because of the theme." In order for this to not further confuse users, you'd have to limit it to circumstances where the user is actually able to change the theme. For instance, for a normal user, if it's the Page theme or User theme that has disabled Skins. For an institutional admin, if it's the Institution theme that has disabled Skins. For a site admin, when any theme has disabled Skins.
