It also fits the popular ask of having different logos and pic folders suiting a forum thematic on a board (it has been a non-solved KMR I think ).
The template can be partial (only the modified tpl) or complete. Most of the time overall_header.tpl and images/ will be requested.
If you plan to use different colors and/or layers, you'll have to activate in the overall_header.tpl the css link to the good stylesheet.
The sub-templates must be stored in a directory under the default template, and the link of a sub-template to the forums and categories is done within the Admin Control Panel.
the mod plus the 2 basic sub-templates I use on the demo board (zip file, near 180k because of the pictures)
demo : check cat 2, cat 2.2, and their forums
nb.: the sub-template mod is designed to work perfectly without the categories hierarchy mod .
This is a very quick mod to apply (about 5 minutes or less), but the time doesn't include the choose or design of a sub-template .
