@Community - Themes and Eye-Candy -

In the prototype, each registered user can pick their own theme -

In the following live example, **any** visitor (you don't have to login)
can pick the display theme:
http://themes.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Themes_for_TW2
Just play with the little drop-down box in the upper left of the page. ;)

FAQ #1:  Why don't I just pick one of those and be done with it?

I want the login/registration in the site banner (not taking up reading
space) - - some of those are setup that way, but. . .

I need to modify one for the 'default' site style to support the OpenID
login/registration form (box/button).

FAQ #2: Why not use that provided login box in the right side bar?
(although not shown on the above demo site, it does support OpenID)

If you look closely at the top left and right corners of the center
content box you will find some 'hide/show sidebar' buttons.  Click them. ;)

So, if a first time vistor has closed the sidebar with the login/register
box - what are they going to do?  Duh...  My solution: put in site banner;
junk the login/register box (all sidebar modules are optional - per user).

FAQ #3: How do I get something I can carry with me into the equipment room?

All page views have a 'print stylesheet' associated with them;
Some sections also have a 'full screen' and/or 'print page' button;
Try it.  If no button seen, just 'print preview' in your browser.

However you get the printable version of what you found - the sidebars are
(usually) dropped.  And if they aren't, you can turn them off.

(1990's my a..)
