I have only one design idea... Let each user build his/her own CSS style. I even have the idea on how to implement this with minor growing pains, although it would require that all of the bgcolor, color, etc tags be replaced with class="whatever" tags. On the HTML side, we could do a

<head>
<title>$current_node</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/style.pl?style=$user_pk"
+ title="Default Styles"
media="screen">
</head>
<body class="myBody">
<!-- ... and so forth... -->

and on the database side, a table like

create table user_styles (
  user_pk varchar2(x) primary key references whatever.user_pk,
  mybody  varchar2(32),
  mytable varchar2(32),
  mytr    varchar2(32),
  mytd    varchar2(32),
  myth    varchar2(32),
  mylink etc, etc, etc,
);

I'm not sure I'm making myself clear, but if you need a sample with source I can soupe something up... (and if you need a reference on my so called design skillz, please check out my website.

updated idea:
...and if you don't feel like creating your own style, you could always select from a library of presets and/or have a "dropdown" or something for other monks themes.

Maybe even a "most popular themes" thingy...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
