Skinning an ilias installation is possible and easy. But it doesn't take effect on Plugins, specially on the plugin symbols shown in the "Add new..." menu within the repository. It should be possible to skin plugins too, for a global look and feel.

4 Discussion
JF 28 Oct 2013: We support the idea and schedule it for 4.5. However to prevent name collisions, the files should be looked in subdirectories like images/[component_id]_[slot_id]_[plugin_id], e.g. rep_robj_xpad for the edupad plugin.
