Web skinning is the art of implementing styles and layouts to templates within a farcry project. These templates are found under the webskin directory of the farcry project architecture. Note that we are talking about the "project" architecture not the "core" architecture. The rule of developing a successful farcry website is not to modify the farcry_core code but only the farcry project code. Think of the core as an engine in the car, which makes the car function, and the project is the body of the car where you can modify the look and feel. You can also extend the functionality of farcry core but this is all done within the project architecture. Big Gav's Guide to Webskinning

Gavin Stewart (yet another Daemonite) has put together a comprehensive guide to webskinning including code examples, tips and tricks for beginners and a solid starting point for redeveloping the presentation tier in FarCry. Read more in Webskin Template Authoring
