new to Zope myself, but I have had some experience of this with a custom
application that I wrote. The users are able to customise certain aspects of my
application then the preferences are stored in a MySql database. When the user
logs in, the application checks their user id and password but also reads
in their preferences. These are used to apply style sheets and other various
bits of customisation.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
