Synchronizing Skin Layers and CSS/Javascript Resources
How to ensure that the proper CSS/Javascript resources are used in different skins.
This Tutorial describes how Plone chooses a skin when you open a web page, and then describes the multiple ways that you can intervene to switch the skin. The Tutorial also discusses two common use cases, switching skins based on URL and the type of user (e.g., Anonymous or Authenticated).

Switching
skins changes what skin layers in portal_skins are used, but it does not switch what CSS and javscript resources to load. This could
be disastrous if you have CSS that applies only to the page templates
in one skin, but not to the page templates in another skin.
The solution is simple: in the portal_css or portal_javascripts tools, just add a condition on certain resources similar to
python:portal.getCurrentSkinName() == 'My Public View'
