Well, I believe that in many cases "less" actually is more. In the meantime I've continued my work on my skin. I don't know how often I've come across hard-coded color codes - or something like "background: white" instead of referencing to a style variable for some default background.
Also, there are some tab-like links in a user's profile (about me, user messaging, friends, ...). Similar tabs can be found in the calendar to switch between yearly, monthly, weekly and daily views. Those tabs look different! And, what a surprise, they are defined in completely different places in a completely different way. Why don't use the same style sheet definition for both tabs?
To me it appears as if the developers were working on their own - not caring what the others were doing. I don't claim them guilty for this mess, the responsibility lies within the software management, those few guys that created functional and/or technical designs for the developers to work with.
That product definitely is not in a state which allows it to be sold as a completed software package. That's not even alpha stage, 'cause every serious management would have rejected that crap immediately and started all over again...
You probably have guessed it, I really am quite disappointed...
