Storygame template

So while I was checking out the preview of the new site, I decided to go into edit mode on one of my works in progress.  I realized I love reading my story in it: the dark lettering goes well with what I'm writing.  That made me think of MS Word, where you can make the page earth tones or blue or whatever just using different templates.  It would be super awesome if the story options page had something like that.  For example: the default would be 'normal' and would be white and black as usual, a 'gothic' theme much like the new site, a 'sands' theme with red and orange accents and dark brown lettering, etc.  Then when the game is published and the player clicks on your game, it automatically loads in with the pre-selected color and background scheme.  I imagine this is already possible with scripting, but the script has to be put on each page separately, where as this option would apply to the whole game.

There's a "Global Page Script" which is a script that is applied to every page.

So what you're saying is already completely doable, it's just not super user friendly.

Does that work in the classic editor? or just the advanced? It never hurts to make something user friendly =)

Just Advanced right now.

The classic editor is intentionally feature stripped down. If you want features, use the advanced editor :).
