I often color the headings to stand out even more :

   h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
     font-weight:bold;
     color: darkred;
     background-color: #eee;
   }

You shouldn't edit the core skin itself - instead add your changes to 
the file pub/css/local.css, they will override the skin styles.

This will be useful when you update your PmWiki installation - and not 
lose your changes or have to re-apply them.

If you want to modify the skin in a more drastic manner, simply copy the 
skin folder to a different name, set in config.php the correct $Skin 
variable, and work on the copy.

For historical reasons, to look closer to the "pmwiki" classic skin.

The responsive skin was written in 2016 and we tested and discussed it 
for a year or so before adding it to the core.

When possible, and unless it was an obvious mistake or very annoying, we 
don't want people who upgrade to have a change in the styles / fonts on 
their wikis.
