I am using MVC/Razor/.Net/C# and i would like to allow users to change the theme of the site just like you can change the theme in microsoft windows.
Does anyone know how to, or, can point me in the direction of some good tutorials/examples.
Cheers
Usually this functionality is achieved with multiple CSS files and has little (or nothing to do with .NET).
You should design your HTML in a semantic way so that by changing the CSS files the entire output is different with each CSS applied.
This link gives a more explanatory intro into the subject -> http://www.thesitewizard.com/css/switch-alternate-css-styles.shtml
After you do that, what you need to do in your application is to store the user preference (of what skin) in a session or something like that and change the CSS file accordingly.
Asp.Net WebForms use to have the Skin/Theme feature, but I think that it was deprecated (it is not very good) and I also saw an implementation where instead of HTML the developer used XML and XSLT files to render the views (which is also too complicated for my taste).
