Actually, we've done something similar (left-side menu bar, no frames though) at <A HREF="http://www.metallicasucks.com/" target="_new">http://www.metallicasucks.com/</A> (standard disclaimers as to potentially offensive content to be found at that link), but the design may give people some ideas. If you select a theme, it gets carried over to the left-side menu bar as well, etc. (but not to any non-w3t page, yet, since there's still no "stylesheet" cookie available to query to use on non-w3t pages)
