Eric, Thanks so much for your quick response--and for having already built a solution.
For some reason, though, I can't seem to make it all work. I have toggled everything off, but I can't get it to toggle on with an appropriate UserName. Could I have made a mistake in the code in the new tiddler with the systemConfig tag. I assume I need to substitute the actual UserNames in the second line (var authors=[ 'UserName', 'OtherUser', 'SomeoneElse', ... ];), which I did. Shouldn't that enable me to author? Do I need to do something to the third line ( co.txtTheme=authors.contains[co.txtUserName]?'Stylesheet':'TotallyTiddlers'; )?
