Jennifer,
CSS is super-easy to learn - pretty much just one line of ASP and one or
two text files containing a few lines of definitions. How to let the user
pick is not something I've had experience with. My home website
(http://www.roboticsresources.com/aerandir/index.php) uses a CSS style
sheet. (the CSS file is /style.css)
You're right - it would be difficult to retrofit because you'd have to
rename every page in your website to a .asp or .php. It's a small price to
pay for the flexibility to change instantly at any time the look and style
of the entire website.
Regarding the images, making the black backgrounds transparent would be
trivial. Paint Shop Pro or GIMP or Photoshop can all do it very easily. I
can do it if you like, it wouldn't take me long. Unfortunately it means
converting gif's or png's, both of which have drawbacks.
