Only changes made from my original were the Wiki logo (top left) and the css sheet I'd modified in the basic skin.
Well the logo is easy to change, also the css is also easy to change once you know how.
Although I still have unresolved quirks which I ought to figure out one of these days, editing the mookbook's css is as easy as editing [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]] There is documentation around here somewhere.
If there's some kind of common.css .. I don't know about it. =)

I don't think there's a built-in web-based override for all skins (though you can edit the various "real" .css files in the source, obviously) but you can easily create one by importing it from somewhere global, like en.wikipedia does. At one stage, each MediaWiki:<skinname>.css contained the line
@import "/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css&smaxage=2678400";
But now it's done somehow else, it seems...
