Long shot - Different color scheme based on category selected

[jimdanforth]

IT's a long shot, but here goes.....
I sell tractor parts and customers are quite brand loyal. Each brand is also quite color specific.
Is there any way that when a customer selects a top-tier category, something (even a colored line) changed to that brand's color.
For example, Allis Chalmers tractors are orange. John Deere is green.
Once a customer selects Deere, a header, a colored line, something, changes to green to make them feel brand loyal.......

I would use a hook for the category to display an image or such.

Like this only the hook is the category

You can use category-specific stylesheets to set the color (for instance) of an element based on the current category.
Say the John Deere category is id 23; add a file c_23.css to /includes/templates/your_template/css/, with content of

#yourElementID {color: 00ff00;}/*green for jd*/


The base stylesheet would have a rule like

#yourElementID {color: #aabbcc;}/*gray or whatever you want*/

You could do the same with a background image for the header or another image; you could also use Smart Backgrounds for fine control of this.

Very cool - did not know this!
