Is there any way to set a different theme for different page types?

Do you mean have one page be one theme while another page be a different one? Or do you mean page types in the dashboard under pages/themes?

One page being of one theme, and another being a totally different theme. Could I accomplish the same thing with using a bunch of page types?

There are a couple ways of doing this. It would depend on the end result and how much time you want to do upfront.

You could for example:

Have page type A, page type B etc and each one load a different "header.php" that in turns loads a different style sheet.

You could I would think whip up some javascript to do some calls to each style sheet depending on different divs in the different pages. I don't code javascript so can't give an example.

You could also create more than one completely different theme for each one and on each page designate the theme of choice by the 'design" interface. Which could be the quickest way to get up and running but if you wanted to change things in the future might prove to be a pain.

Not sure if that helps.

OK, so I did some more looking. It appears that I can make custom page types like teh right-sidebar in the default themes folder.

This is basically what I want, and when users of a certain group go to create a page and go into design, I want them to only be able to choose certain page types depending on their group.

Now in my reading I didn't see, or missed teh part where I can set a style for each page type I create. Im not tryign to be dense, I promise. it just comes naturally.
