That's not incompatible with CSS theming. If you look at a lot of themeable normal applications, it basically amounts to changing around the graphics used in widgets or window backgrounds, changing button placement / size / style, etc. That's the sort of thing CSS handles well. For anyone who hasn't seen it, the CSS Zen Garden is an impressive demonstration of what CSS can do. http://www.csszengarden.com/ Evan Daniel
