Skinning
Skinning in the context of the react-sdk is component replacement rather than CSS. This means you can override (replace) any accessible component in the project to implement custom behaviour, look & feel, etc. Depending on your approach, overriding CSS classes to apply custom styling is also possible, though harder to do.
At present, the react-sdk offers no stable interface for components - this means properties and state can and do change at any time without notice. Once we determine the react-sdk to be stable enough to use as a proper SDK, we will adjust this policy. In the meantime, skinning is done completely at your own risk.
The approach you take is up to you - we suggest using a module replacement plugin, as found in webpack, though you're free to use whichever build system works for you. The react-sdk does not have any particular functions to call to load skins, so simply replace or extend the components/stores/etc you're after and build. As a reminder though, this is done completely at your own risk as we cannot guarantee a stable interface at this time.
Taking a look at element-web's approach to skinning may be worthwhile, as it overrides some relatively simple components.
