This is not officially supported. You need to regenerate the Web Help 
using XMLmind XSL Utility with different conversion parameters if you 
want to change the looks of the generated Web Help.

There is no formal concept of "skin".

You can do two things:

1) SIMPLE. Pass XSLT stylesheet parameter wh-jquery-theme with a value 
corresponding to one of the JQuery UI themes. Examples: redmond, 
cupertino. Please visit http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/ to learn about 
JQuery UI themes and their names.

See attached screenshot #1 (wh-jquery-theme = sunny).

AND/OR

2) MORE DIFFICULT. Customize the CSS used to style the HTML pages 
comprising the Web Help (look in <output_dir>/_wh/*.css to learn about 
some of the the stock styles).

Pass XSLT stylesheet parameter wh-user-css pointing to your custom CSS file.

See attached screenshot #2 (wh-user-css = file:/home/hussein/tmp/red.css 
where red.css contains:
---
body {
     color: red;
}
---
).
