Thanks, you're very kind. Actually, this whole thing is an extension of a
technique that aardvark (adrian) use(s/d) on his site (roselli.org) to allow
a user to select a text size. I punched up his code to include the ability
to select a layout too (ice, jello, liquid). It's when I started to desire
offering selectable colors that my feeble gears started to churn.

Please, 'play around'! Let me know if I can assist. Yup, it'll 'work on any
page that links to it'. It starts with defaults, then processes selection
requests. The selections are respected throughout a session for the entire
site via temp cookies or persisted (opt-in) for future visits.

You're too modest and from what I know of you (list posts and your terrific
site), you couldn't possibly be tagged a 'newbie'!
