Different Styles for shared pages

Is it possible to have different styles for the shared pages across a community? i.e we have a main community with a set of styles defined, but an ideas board with a completely different look and feel. As soon as you view any of the shared pages such as login / profile page / search etc. it defaults to the main community look and feel. 

 

I've found this post but it is dated: http://community.lithium.com/t5/Support-board/Can-we-create-multiple-instances-of-community/m-p/25574/highlight/true 

 

Hope my question makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

  • I assume that what you want is for the shared pages to have the same look and feel of the area the user was in before navigating to that page. For example, if they navigate to the log in page from the main community page it will have the default skin. But if they navigate to it from the ideas pages, it will have the ideas skin.

    The Lithium answer was that you need Lithium professional services to do something to enable this for your community.

     

    It might also be possible to do something with custom components and logic in the CSS, but it is problematic because of things like what happens when the user has mutliple tabs open etc.
