Different colour schemes!

Alright, so the site's whole layout is blue right now. That's plain to see. Almost entirely monochromatic; the only things that aren't some shade of blue are the buttons and planets, really.
I propose that there be different colour schemes to choose from on the site. One for each planet, perhaps. The only things that would really change would be the overall colour of the site and the planet being shown the closest in the background of the site. For example, a green layout would have all monochromatic green, and Relcore would be the closest planet in the background of the site. Or a burnt orange/red layout would have Reiflem up front.

I know this change isn't exactly necessary to the site, but I think it'd be nice to be able to choose our preferred colour scheme for the site. Just adds some variety! And, of course, we'd be able to change it anytime in Preferences.

I just remember when, years ago when the Myotis was released, there was a brief Halloween layout. I distinctly remember how cool it was to get a change in the layout, however brief. I'd like this opportunity again, just to be able to add some variety to the users' Res experiences. c:

Thought it may be more work, perhaps seasonal layouts could also be added? A Christmas theme for when the Uilus are available, etc.
Just a thought. c:

Thoughts? Ideas?

I support this; while your right, it won't really benefit the site, it sure would be cool! :D
You have the Sona's support!

Another site I used to work for did something like this, and they released different themes for everyone to use during holidays and site events. It makes everything more colorful and can sometimes even make the site look more friendly. This would be such a great idea for res, I'd love to even see pet layouts  like Berrok, Cyid, Uilus etc. There could be custom layouts, which would also benefit the site by allowing users I purchase them for real cash money and help support the website. I could even see contests and stuff for them. 

TL;DR : this is an AMAZING idea Dust, and you've got 110% of my support! Great job! :D

Ooh, I like those additions! Creatu-themed would be fantastic, and having custom ones would not only help the site by earning them more money, but give the coding users on Res even more business. Thanks for the support! c:

Good idea. We have also wanted to do this! This will likely not be made right now, but instead along with the new site version.
