    \ingroup Framework

    QskSkinnable is the base for all objects, that can be configured by skin hints
    and are displayed by a skinlet. The configuration from the skin can be overwritten by
    adding values to the local skin hint table - it is even possible to replace the
    skinlet individually.

    In most cases a skinnable is a QskControl, but conceptually it is
    possible to have controls, that consist of many skinnables.

    \fn QskSkinnable::updateNode

    This method replaces the QQuickItem::updatePaintNode method as the

    QskControl to perform some additional steps before calling updateNode(),
    and provides a consistent parent node which subclasses can rely on.

    The default implementation simply forwards the operation to the skinlet,

    \param parentNode The parent of the nodes to be added in this method.

    \note Overriding updateNode() might break the themeability and the usual
          strategy to implement custom painting is to customize or replace
          the skinlet.

    Presentation, beheviour and layout of the scene graph nodes are

    where these attributes can be overloaded. Hints from the local
    table have precedence over those from the skin.
