Yes, and as for this thread, I would suggest Dan Brownings idea, which is a
follow up to Kevins post. If you take the hint from [tmp page_title], you
can reduce alot of things into GO/NO-GO tests, instead of comparisons.

[tmp doindex]1[/tmp]   <-- in header

----------------

  [if scratch doindex]
       <img alt="Home" border="0" src="__THEME_IMG_DIR__home_tan.png"></a>
     [else]
       <img alt="Home" border="0" src="__THEME_IMG_DIR__home_green.png"></a>
     [/else]
     [/if]


>From there, you realize the header (if that is what it is called) is the key
to doing page specific things in the templates, and can be very powerful for
altering the look, page to page, without needing another template, and still
be efficient.
