Hi

From the Accesibility page it sounds like individuals can choose their own theme.

Theme Switching

Theme Builder 3.0 and above support end-user theme switching allowing individuals to instantly switch to a more accessible view of your wiki, for example you can provide high-contrast or large-text layouts.

Am I reading this right? If so how can a user select their own theme? I can't find any documentation on how an individual can do so.

This would be huge and the long sought holy grail of giving views for beginners versus power users.

thanks!
Brendan

    You can achieve this in several ways:

    1. Using the builder-show macro and the use-layout macro you can automate the selection of the layout used based on a wide variety of criteria, eg: 
       {builder-show:user=anonymous}{use-layout:ANON}{builder-show}
    2. The compound-menuitem macro has layout & latch parameters which match the function of the use-layout macro eg: 
       {compound-menuitem:home|layout=MYLAYOUT}
    3. By using hardcoded urls which append layout= and optionally latch= parameters to the URL's querystring
