The Light Skin uses

  <link rel='stylesheet' href='$SkinDirUrl/light.css' type='text/css' />
  <!--HeaderText-->
  <link rel='stylesheet' href='$SkinDirUrl/light2.css' type='text/css' />

I don't recall exactly why it was important to have both, but here's
light2.css, which provides some hints.

/*
These CSS selectors will override selectors PmWiki injects into
the HTML header.
*/
.indent { margin-left:30px; }
.outdent { margin-left:30px; text-indent:-30px; }
.diffbox { width:745px; margin-top:10px; }
.diffadd code, .diffdel code { padding-right:1px; white-space:normal; }
.diffrestore, .difftype, .difftime .diffauthor { font-size:8pt; }
.diffrestore { margin-top:2px; }
