Extension:SkinByURL

This extension causes a page to be displayed with a particular skin based on the name of the file used to access the page. Just replace "index" in index.php with the name of the skin. For example, you could force a display in the "chick" skin (for hand-held devices) by changing the entry point from "index.php" to "chick.php"

Usage
Simply replace "index" in the URL filename with the name of the skin you wish to force. For example, to force use of the "chick" skin replace "index.php" with "chick.php"
