Site skin "Lynx (light mode)" - add info about menus on other skins

Title:
Site skin "Lynx (light mode)" - add info about menus on other skins

Area:
Site Interface

Summary:
The profile page in Lynx (light mode) is missing an entire menu of menus and functions.

Description:
I didn't find out about this until trying to follow someone's instructions for importing a journal. (I've since found the FAQ for that.)

The response to my support ticket was "this was intentionally left off Lynx because Lynx is supposed to be simpler and have less information on the page."

This was no surprise, since usually, this simplicity and ease of reading is a big plus for me (and why I use Lynx).

Can this be maintained while adding a note (or box?) with the info that the menus are available on any of the other site skins? Maybe include the quick path to get there:
At bottom of profile page, go to [Site Map], follow link to [Manage Settings], choose tab [Display], in [Site Skin] switch to any other choice, and Save.

I thinkthe problem is that Lynx is both a site scheme and a printable/mobile view layout, and has problems being both.

If it's to be labelled as a full site scheme, then it needs to have some way of having the core nav menues showing. If it's to be a lite view for printing and older mobile browers, then it needs to concentrate on being just that. Even then, for the latter use, I'd want more nav links than are already there.

I never use mobile views deliberately, Opera Mobile can translate most web pages into smallscreen readable pages well, but others have different preferences.

Lynx is trying to do too much, perhaps? Split it up into a separate scheme and style=light
