I have a customer who wants to wants to alter the page background depending on who advertises on the page. I could do this in the CSS, but don't want him messing with that. I'm guessing that the Context module might help. Does anyone have any other techniques to suggest? It must be easy for the customer to do on his own, both setting up and maintaining.

Maybe this can be of any help, but I haven't tried it myself: http://drupal.org/project/dynamic_background

If you can get away with just the header changing (and you're on d6), you might try out http://drupal.org/project/headerimage

Are they talking about advertising skins? If so then most of those are usually delivered through javascript. The real pain in them is sometimes you do have to alter the CSS, especially offsetting the main page to accommodate the skin. I've tried numerous times to come up with a more universal approach, but there really isn't any.
If it's all CSS, then actually a custom module could be written to do that in under an hour. A simple configuration page and then adding the CSS to the page, making sure it appears below all your other stylesheets so nothing gets overridden. It would probably end up being quicker and less cumbersome then using something like context.

Yeah, but then I'd have to send him a bill for the work and I'm trying to avoid that.
I don't want him messing with the CSS at all, based on experience with him. It looks like even Context would require that.
