Irrational Exuberance

You are writing a comment about Customize site style by user with django-userskins, here is a quick summary:

This post briefly introduces the design decisions and usage of django-userskins, which is a pluggable Django application for facilitating users selecting skins for your site. For example, to let user A have a dark theme for your site, and user B have a light scheme. Supports cookie-only persistence as well as cookie-when-possible-database-as-last-resort persistence for skin preferences.

I have started to tackle another aspect of the look-and-feel management issue. Specifically this last weekend I created the guts of a template generator that creates Django templates that use the blueprint.css grid scheme for content layout. With it a site developer could easily provide a set of different but related layouts and allow the user to select one in much the same manner as the django-userskins app purports to allow the selection of a userskin for typography, color and such.

The performance and usability tradeoffs are identical for these two cases, so perhaps the "user choice management" portion of your app can be reused for my system.
