I could think of many a thing that I'd rather see in the Column; most of which being considerably safer and easier to develop than custom CSS. I mean, sure themes are good, but think about the ratio of people who have admin powers/are founders of groups to people who know CSS, and moreover know it well, and things don't look too promising.
To solve this problem and Achronos's you could make a form. That way Achronos can select the CSS properties that we are allowed to customize. A form would put alot more constraints on the the changes you can make and it would be user friendly to thoughs not gifted with scripting knowledge. As constrained as it is; it would still retain enough customizability to make individual groups unique.
There'd have to be character limits for each text box. I did consider it, but I don't see it working. What if there were a border-style field? I'm sure it would be simple enough to type in solid; font-size: 100px unless each were a drop-down selection. But to be fair, do you really expect most of the people who use this to have a clue design-wise? Yeah, it's their group, but everyone likes personalisation, and maybe it's not too fair on them if they mess something up. Plus, there's no way to change the images, so colour ranges would be extremely limited.
