Thank you Guillermo, I'll look at that!

Xkins 0.9.8 lets you to comose Skins so the functionality could be achieved. Cheers.

But as far as what I AM doing goes, I'm not sure what will really be helpful, so let me get as detailed as I can and you can ignore the superfolous parts... First, the application I'm doing this in allows users to set their own color scheme, font scheme, and some other style elements (within a defined set of things they can possibly change). So, I have a UserScheme table with columns like BackgroundColor, FontSize, TextColor, etc. So, in each JSP I have the line: <link rel="StyleSheet" href="/app/styles.act" type="text/css"> This is mapped to an Action called StylesAction. All it does is reads in all the columns from the above table for the current user. I then dump all those values into a HashMap (I simply key it off the column name in the table). Next, in the styles.jsp, I do things like this: <% HashMap styleData = (HashMap)request.get("styleData"); %> .cssMainBody { background-color : <%=(String)styleData.get("backgroundColor")%>; color : <%=(String)styleData.get("textColor")%>; font-family : <%=(String)styleData.get("fontFamily")%>; font-size : <%=(String)styleData.get("fontSize")%>; font-weight : <%=(String)styleData.get("fontWeight")%>; } ...and so on. Then, I just use those style classes in my other JSP's like I would any other style tag (I always do className="xxx" where xxx is the classname like cssMainBody above). That's all there is to it. Without knowing more about the taglibs your using I can't really say if this will work as-is or not, but it certainly works were taglibs are not involved. Hope that helps!
