there are so mnay themes i like, and i find it totally refreshing to see a different one vere so often. is it possible to make the different themes appear random? (not by choice in the drop-down, which of course i have already installed)
the more themes appear, the more of them i want to use- guys, this is YOUR fault. every time one comes out i think, wooww!! i want this, and this, and...
random change of theme- is it possible?

Re: random change of theme- is it possible?
Hi!
This would work with a REALLY simple plugin. Just save this code as plugins/serendipity_event_randomtemplate/serendipity_event_randomtemplate.php:

It contains no frequency of change; it changes every page request.
Carl, I think this plugin is plain too small to add it to Spartacus on its own. It could be integrted into the current templatechooser plugin, though. I'll see if I have the time to integrate it, but I don't find that functionality so terribly exciting - actually, I would find it confusing if a blog changes its layout time and again.
Best regards,
Garvin

ahh. i thought it would miraculously change at a certain frequency.. haha.
shows my ignorance, i guess. so the [page will remeber you, the redare,and then put on a new outfit?
as far as it's worth as a plugin is concerned- i think it is fine for personal webpages, and it only works well if you cutomize the themes for yourself.
i noticed for sure that pictures look so different in the various schemes that some old "stuff" i saw revsiting my page really looked appealing in a new way.
ahh- and where is the big easter-egg them with lots of bunnies and chocolate and flowers???
only kidding. i know it is a lot of work, even if yu coudl remold the bunnies to angels to father christmas... and so on (definitley not for random, though)
