The sort of thing you see on some commercial websites. There are some websites out there that are user customizable -- www.perlmonks.org, for instance, has some customizable features. It shouldn't be too difficult to do what you are shooting for, especially if you use a modular/component based architecture like Mason or AxKit. -- Brett http://www.chapelperilous.net/ Agree with them now, it will save so much time.

I think the OpenInteract sample apps might do what you want. By the way, please put the text of your message in the body of the mail rather than as an attachment. - Perrin

(Altho I note that the recently announced OpenFrame [2] isn't on there.) Speaking for OpenInteract, I can say that this is definitely possible without a huge amount of work. The color scheme, font, theme etc. is already there, and the component ordering and such would be fairly simple to add in.
