I agree Sumilang. I had to use this in the calendar plugin because I based
the first one on the default style sheet and the colors would get all 
messed up. There will have to be a system of separate theme functions or a 
way to set them up. For example, this theme function is a table-in-a-table 
to create thin lines. Not everyone might want this.

So do we go in a direction where a person edits a style sheets for fonts
and colors and phpWS creates the tables? Or will the user create the css in 
phpWS and create there own theme file? Or will phpWS do it all? I vote for 
the end option. I would like phpWS to create theme files that can be
distributed BUT at the same time they could be plugged in and altered. 
These files would handle everything (color, form, font, etc.).
Installation would be a snap with the user uploading the theme and then
the graphics.
