Do a search for the file "MySkin". Probably it is XWiki.MySkin. Navigate
to the page and click "Edit this skin".
You will see several form fields:
Name
Style
Header
Footer
View
ViehHeader
Etc
When the contents of these fields are empty, XWiki defaults to the files
in the WAR installation. So, for example, if you want to gain control at
the UI layer of your header.vm file, get the contents of header.vm and
paste it into the header field. Then it will override.
So, for example also, notice that there are style sheet includes for a
bunch of CSS files in the Style field. Get the real contents of one of
those files and paste it into the Style field. Then remove the import
line. Now, you have access to that style from within the XWiki UI.
We should really write up a much clearer tutorial for this. It is a very
powerful capability.

Re: [xwiki-users] Installing new XWiki skins
I'm not sure I understand completely -- when you say "you need to replace
the default files using the ones in the zip files" that it's not possible
for a single XWiki instance to support multiple skins? It looks like the
design is in place for each space to have its own skin... just wondering.
Assuming an XWiki instance can support only one skin, to install the
files,
do I replace files in xwiki\skins\default and xwiki\templates with the
ones
provided with the skin zip?

Hi,
Skins are currently not properly packaged.. At this point you need to
replace the default files using the ones in the zip files.
In the future we plan to deliver a skin as one file that can be installed
locally or in the the wiki.. There is still work for
this.
