Just for fun: http://web2py.com/zengarden
then click on the [zengarden] link under the menu, under the "index" link. You can change the skin per user, per session. This is a bare bone welcome app with the layout http://web2py.com/zengarden/static/layout.html Problem: all zengarden layouts hardcode text in images for each skin. This makes them not as general as we need them. It makes it more of a proof of concept than a useful tool unfortunately. Other problem: some layouts are broken because assume a few divs that we do not have.
