Skinning Dialogs
Skinning dialogs can be tricky because the same dialog may be used by different plugins, or extensions, in slightly different ways. Dialog skin properties are often more limited than other skin files and frequently use hard coded, or long text strings.
Many dialog skin files import
common.dialog.xml
where the main skin elements in common can be coded centrally.
For example skin files, see the Default or Titan skin Dialogxxx.xmls.
Dialog Skin XMLs

I think this page should show which controls including ids belong to each dialog rather than the properties and methods since those are not that interesting to skinners.
