You will first need to find the style id's of the styles you wish to have banners on, for this block im asuming your dark style is id 1 and your light style is id 2.

Stick this in the phpinclude_start template:

PHP Code:

// if to find style id, probbly better as a switch but we are only using two styles in this case
if ($style['styleid'] == 1) // light style
{
    // run switch for banners
    switch(intval(time() / 2) % 3)
    {
        case 0:
        $banner = 'img1.jpg';
        $banner_url = 'www.mysite.com';
        break;
        case 1:
        $banner = 'img2.jpg';
        $banner_url = 'www.mysite2.com';
        break;
        case 2:
        $banner = 'img3.jpg';
        $banner_url = 'www.mysite3.com';
        break;
    }
}
else
{
    if ($style['styleid'] == 2)
    {
            // run switch for banners
            switch(intval(time() / 2) % 3)
            {
                case 0:
                $banner = 'img1.jpg';
                $banner_url = 'www.mysite.com';
                break;
                case 1:
                $banner = 'img2.jpg';
                $banner_url = 'www.mysite2.com';
                break;
                case 2:
                $banner = 'img3.jpg';
                $banner_url = 'www.mysite3.com';
                break;
            }
    }
} 


Make sure to chage the urls/image names to the ones you want to use in the switch statement's.

Then use the same html I posted above in your templates.

Also this is a bit dirty but it will get the job done just as good as anything else will.
