**WARNING: As of July 2016, the skinning abstraction is broken due to rapid
development of `matrix-react-sdk` to meet the needs of Riot (codenamed Vector), the first app
to be built on top of the SDK** (https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web).
Right now `matrix-react-sdk` depends on some functionality from `riot-web`
(e.g. CSS), and `matrix-react-sdk` contains some Riot specific behaviour
(grep for 'vector'). This layering will be fixed asap once Riot development
has stabilised, but for now we do not advise trying to create new skins for
matrix-react-sdk until the layers are clearly separated again.
In the interim, `vector-im/riot-web` and `matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk` should
As of Aug 2018, the only skin that exists is `vector-im/riot-web`; it and
`matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk` should effectively
be considered as a single project (for instance, matrix-react-sdk bugs
are currently filed against vector-im/riot-web rather than this project).
