You got the correct terminology and your demo is cool (although I have
to say I don't like the choice of colours in the themes ;-)).
Of course, you can do much more than just change the colours. It would
be cool to see a demo that did more drastic changes. Say move the
navigation to the right side. Remove the last published timestamps,
that kind of thing.
If you want a test with "drastik changes" implemented with views, go to
http://cyriaque.dupoirieux.free.fr/testviews1/index.html.
You can switch from pelt to leatherdev themes with - for instance in
firefox - "Views/style of the page" or something like this...
(I am thinking of a contract which will display a conbo-box to change
the style...)
Cyriaque,
As a dev though, I can see that what you have done will make this work.
I think this should go into a seed site for views, this is an
important improvement.
While doing this it reminded me of the old skinconf with defined
colors that were used as parameters to an xslt to create one
css file. It got me thinking that Forrest could generate alternate
css files then perhaps have a contract that would emulate the
<forrest:css ...> tag in view files and insert all the required
alternate css files. Perhaps even part of something like the
publishedstrip contract to add the links to click to switch the
themes rather than what I have done in site.xml at the moment.
This sounds like a good idea, in theory. Lets see what Thorsten says
regarding his plans for skin configuration (now themes). I know he has
given this some thought, but not sure if there are any concrete plans
yet.
Anyone with a slow dial up? Do you see an unacceptable problem
if pages aren't cached after choosing another theme other than
the default 'dull' theme?
This doesn't affect me personally. However, I doubt it would be a
problem since users will typically select a theme they like and stick
with it.

[OT] are you based in the UK? If so where?
