In the new theme system is it possible to have the content class on the news like Events and Updates be changed to a different class so it is more easily customizable and seperate?  Not just a clone of the content class?   

It could be done on the older system from the theme-functions.php but I'm not sure how it would be done on the new one...

I am still cleaning up the admin code, it is going very slowly, once thats done, I will being work on the normal layouts adding classes to the tables etc

in the current SVN ther are already subclasses, and if it has an ID you can subclass using that in the CSS

I cant remember how far I got with the subclassing, I know its in ViewBoard and ViewTopic, not sure about IndexForum, but anyhow, the idea is already there.

It may be that we will have to modify the output functions, but this should be possible without upsetting the theme itself. That is, to create the content div with an id related to the title pased through..(or similar)
