  I suggest that Shape5 develop a way to determine the section/category "list" font sizes and bullets from within its templates.  I say this because many users want to choose their own bullets, i.e. star, number, arrow, whatever. Additionally, the default font size in a section layout (listing the categories in a particular section) are very small and global.  As a final improvement to the style system, webmasters should be able to choose to use a "hover" color for the section or category lists, which would include the section/category descriptions. Another neat addition would be to offer as an option a straight line separator between the sections/categories for the section/category list views.This issue needs to be implemented as an option from within the template manager area.

  I also think that there should be a way to arrange module positions in different fashions on all shape5 templates, such that there could be three to four different choices of module position layouts, also selectable from within the template manager. Or, as an alternative, we need to somehow be able to use custom html modules at various (non-standard) template positions which would provide a means to custom fashion a shape5 standard style.

  The ability to select a the "normal link" and "hover" colors for text should also be included as a template manager option.

I realize the coding would take some time to develop, but it would be worth it in the long run.

  I'd like to reiterate my suggestion of creating two template styles for each theme so webmasters can offer users either the "light" and "dark" style of the same theme.  This would require slight naming differences between the two theme styles, but could be two separate versions of the same theme to eliminate module and positioning conflicts. I am attempting to do this on my own with the "Sea of Glass" template on my own so I can sho others the possibilities with such a system

Just some ideas to mull over.
