Well... the quickest way to change layouts is to store the
configuration in the database...
So have a table for web2py meta information, that contains
"current_layout" which is value is "layout.html" or "mynewlayout.html"
etc etc.
In all views instead of {{ extend "layout.html" }} it will be {{
extend current_layout }}. Then do the same with the CSS as well.
{{ response.files.append(my_current_css) }}
Cache these variables in RAM to save from un-necessary dbio
