Change skin

This call allows a user to dynamically change the skin that LiveContent is using. This call can be executed during run-time, and any and all requests for skin resources or keystone pages will use the new skin value that is set in the user's session. Often, when setting this new skin value, it is best to set the value and then cause the current page to reload, so that the user will be given a fresh start in the new skin.
