Of course you do realize that the only possible outcome of this thread
which is *literally* about painting the docs bike shed is to have a row of
dynamic "change my css theme" buttons somewhere with one for each person
that has piped up in this thread. Which would lead to a stateful docs web
server with cookie preferences on which css to default to for each and
every viewer. This doesn't end well...  ;)

Good luck (and thanks for trying, I like seeing the new styles!)
