# Inline theme switching?

 * Hi All, and Happy New Year!
 * I’m pretty darn new at this stuff (though I’ve been saying that for three years),
   so ya know, please forgive my n00binity.
 * To sum up – I created some themes with Artisteer and I’m using Headspace 2 to
   use per page themes. I use Custom Widgets to place my widgets where I want them.
   This gives me the ability to have a ‘shifting’ site in which the shape changes
   but the style stay the same. It’s a ‘hybrid’ with a static, magazine style front
   page, a blog, an articles ‘encyclopedia,’ a how-to tutorials section, and a reviews
   section.
 * Well, I’ve got the magazine front and the blog working perfectly to my satisfaction,
   and I’m now looking for some guidance with the encyclopedia, tutorials, and reviews
   sections.
 * I’ve been looking into categories for these, but when I do category listing of
   posts, I get some weird effects. I’d really like to be able to have a directory
   at the front of each section – with, like, a list of category sections and a 
   blurb . . . I’d like not to lose my photo captions (which is happening when I
   list my categories, I think because I switched themes.)
 * What I think would be super handy is the ability to not only assign themes per
   page, but also theme OPTIONS per page. I’m no php coder, but I think I could 
   benefit from a hack that made this possible, if such a thing exists. I tried 
   the switch_theme function and that completely broke everything – perhaps because
   I need a switch_theme_back, or something I don’t know about . . . The settings
   were identical, except for stylistic things, but man, it broke it all real good.
 * If anyone has a site like the one I’m describing, I’d sure appreciate some guidance
   about what direction to go with this stuff. Plugins, hacks, opinions, whatever
   it takes.
 * Thanks! WordPress is awesome!

 * I guess it’s kind of rude to post questions without examples, so here’s what 
   I’m working on:
