Seems like you could create a CSSBackground component that subclasses Skin
that becomes the base class of every skin of your theme. Since most
components don't have CSS background styles set, the code wouldn't do much
unless needed.
One possible gotcha would be any components who derive their size from the
background-image as these would probably be loaded externally and not
available at measure time.
