Does it make sense to allow only a single template to be used on the forum and allow multiple color schemes on that layout?

I like the idea. I've done a very similar thing with my homepage at http://www.freephile.com Just click the colored sqares across the top of the page.

The color themes would be control via a CSS file and admin can have multiple active schemes from which the users may choose the one they like the best inside their profile control panel.

I set mine up with php variables, and a form changes those variables. I could make the selection 'stick' by using a cookie

It makes little sense to me to allow multiple templates, which would mean that there would be different designs (formatting) of the forum people can choose from. I see this as a problem if a person wants to maintain any sort of consistency with the rest of the site's layout.

I agree

Now what I'd love to know is: is it easy to change the look/layout of FUDforums as currently built? What if I want to match my existing site design? What if I want to wrap fud forums into my site layout, as if it were "content"? One thing I'd like to do is change the 'home' link so that it goes to the document root, but i'm not sure yet whether changing WWW_ROOT in GLOBALS.php will mess everything else up.
