Well, it largely depends on how much modifications the users should be able to make. If it's only modifications to the basic palette (the one that is now being read from the .css file), it wouldn't be hard as such, but would still require an entirely separate mechanism on top of the theming system - because the modified palette would need to be stored somewhere other than the theme. But this has the problem that the palette only affects a limited portion of the colours - a lot of the UI element colours are defined in the CSS instead of the palette. If it's modifications to the css elements and styles as well, then that'd be extremely hard and lots of work. Frankly, it wouldn't be much use, since the user would still be required to understand the CSS elements and properties and what they do, and if the user understands those, they can just edit the css file directly... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CenturyLink Cloud: The Leader in Enterprise Cloud Services.
