Ok, I was hoping someone would care in either direction. I am actually working on a thingy where you can pick your own stylesheet and there will of course be a "default".
Ok, I made the "azure" stylesheet the "preferred" and the "black and white and blue" stylesheet the "alternate". If you are using FF/Moz you can switch between them with "View->Page Style". I plan to cleanup the styles (fewer classes) and consolidate pages and then in the future add an option so users can indeed just style things themselves. (And persist that as a user pref.)
I am working on the cleanup of the stylesheet, it really has way too much stuff, needs to be much simpler.
Once I have that done I will make sure that every page in the site uses the default and "alternate" styles the way the "main" page does.
Then I will create a little drop down to set the style under the login box or something. Probably gonna javascript it as much as I hate that, because its not something the site will "rely" on but will just enhance if you have javascript (and much easier to implement than a user pref stored in the db and changed when you login).
ANYWAY - if you have a modern browser where you can set the style (view-page style) without javascript or what have you, check out the newly added "classic" stylesheet.
Note that I added a little "set your stylesheet" thing to the "userMod" stuff. If you login and hit userMod on the little logged in stuff you can do area (top left) then you can set a preffered style sheet that will be used when you are logged in (regardless of browser and setting view-page type, etc).
Note that only the "main.php" file knows how to use your preffered style and it will take a while for all the other "tools" and "admin" things to know about it, so for now its just a preferred style for the main page and viewing stories, pubclasses, so on (anything that uses "main.php").

RE: Go Back to the Light Blue Background
That would be pretty sweet. You should create something like csszengarden.com where folks could submit there own stylesheet.

RE: Go Back to the Light Blue Background
Yes, the blue background is much better. The white one is too damn bright...

RE: Go Back to the Light Blue Background
"classic" is nice
RE: Go Back to the Light Blue Background
I like all the stuff.
RE: Go Back to the Light Blue Background
been working on one called "mac", its not all that mac yet, but I plan to interject some blue and its getting there.
RE: Go Back to the Light Blue Background
Ok, so its late, but I think I made some progress on "terminal" as well ;).
And credit for the "inspiration" of all these goes of course to coop and the "aggregator".
RE: Go Back to the Light Blue Background
Nice,...classic really brings me back.
RE: Go Back to the Light Blue Background
Made some improvements to mac, its pretty nice, I think.

RE: Go Back to the Light Blue Background
OK, I finished up the style paying attention stuff for all the normal "user" files (more than just main.php, all the tools and so on).
I have NOT finished all the "admin" level tools - those still have one style - but there are only a few "admin" level users - that can wait.
All the code changes have also been checked into totspCode_php (sourceforge).
