I recently purchased the Builder theme from ithemes.com While I like the thesis theme (which is very flexible) this provides the flexibility without adding a whole new learning curve of WordPress hooks and such.
The power of the Builder theme is the can create a style that represents the colors, text size, and much more.
You then apply the style (color) to a layout which is where you decide if you want a header graphic, sidebars, footers, html code, and much more. You can then save those settings under a name.
So in my example I had a style called “green” that I applied to a layout called “test.”
Then I created a post and told the post to use the “test” style (which came out with the layout an colors).
You can make endless themes, and layouts for a ton of combinations such as:
1. No sidebars for a sales page
2. No sidebars if you are using embeded forums like simple press
3. A different header graphic for different pages or posts
You can stay as simple or get as fancy as you want. I just scratched the surface with this 10 minute video. I had been using the theme for about 10 minutes before making this video. (you may need to click the “full screen” view to get the details).

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let
you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading properly.
I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I’ve tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same results.
