Site Skinning MVC and DotLess

Unsy asked:

Hi Guys

I have a site that is to be skinned for different companies depending on a value that I will have in the config file.

What I am planning on doing is having several folders under my content folder, each containing the style sheets and images that will be applied for that company. Then I look up the value in the config file to determine which folder to look at when I fire up my BundleConfig.cs.

My question is what is the best, most maintainable way of doing this? The layout should remain the same, it's really just for the colour schemes and images. I'm using dotLess so I can set up colour schemes easily enough, but if I make a change to the layout somewhere, I am going to have to add the same change to X amount of other style sheets in all the other folders.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
