if the templating system could just be reformed to something sane, so the site always uses the same html, just arranged and/or colored in different ways as per style or user desires

I've not looked at it, as the code'll be beyond me anyway, but this would suit me completely, as a long term solution it'd be grand.

I knew having multipe schemes is a PITA, hence the desire to negate the need with this, if a much bigger solution is needed and doable then that'd suit me, but if this could be done fairly easily as a stop-gap, or it could be done as an early step in the much larger project, that'd be useful.

So many people find Trop Red very offputting it bothers me, and teaching people how to login, stay logged in, and change their styles is at times difficult. I find it easy, but I'm nowhere close to a typical use case.
