Hmm Sean,
themes and skins will only help with STYLING the components not layout.
What I need is something to set the LAYOUT of the user control and use that master layout to place components in. Like in master page but in user controls.
Simple example:
Master Control file
Usercontrol layout storred in something like "Master Control" file that has table with two columns.
----------------
| | |
| | |
-----------------
User Control A
Now, inside the user control, it would be nice if I can reference that master layout and place components like labels. Those components are marked as X and Y
----------------
| | |
| X | Y |
----------------
User Control B
Other usercontrol can now have other components marked as Z and W
----------------
| | |
| Z | W |
-----------------
