Maintaining two closely related style options

[tobias_t]

This is kind of hard to sum up just in the headline.

My forum offers two style options to the users. The only difference is the font color.

I didn't want to do all manual template edits in both styles all the time, so for a while I have only made changes to the default style and disregarded the other one (knowing that few people are even aware of this option).

Now I want to get both styles on the same level again. My idea is to duplicate the current version of the default style and edit its font color, and replace the old alternate style with it (by giving it the same name).

Basically, I want to make sure that the new style ends up with the same ID as the old one, or at least automatically falls into place for people who had selected the previous alternate style.

I hope this was not too hard to follow, and that somebody can help me out with this.

Thanks, Tobias
