Re3: web-based application or desktop application?

I've worked at a place that provided "skins" for their web app. It was actually quite simple. *shrugs* Granted, the skin had to be stored server-side, but that's because HTML doesn't provide an easy way to choose images on the client machine.

Web "skins" can be implemented much better by using an all CSS design. The HTML doesn't have to change, only the CSS. Here is a site with tons of examples: CSS Zen Garden All the designs all use exactly the same HTML file only the CSS and images called by the CSS change.	[reply]
