"Polystyle" style

To install the style: unzip Polystyle.zip archive to "\Styles\" subfolder of your FeedDemon cache folder (menu: File > Open Cache Folder)
To only update installed style: unzip Polystyle-update.zip archive to "\Styles\" subfolder of your FeedDemon cache folder (menu: File > Open Cache Folder)
This version of the style is FD 1.10 compliant, so if you experience problems with its eralier version, please update.
(ESSENCE) from within this style, you can assign other styles to each channel independently (both in channel newspaper mode and in single newsitem mode). You can also assign different styles to group newspapers. In other words - no more style-switching.
style assignments are based on channels'/groups' NAMES (not URLs). So if you change a channel's name you will have to reassign a style for it (i.e: "Default" style would be assigned automatically)
(IMPORTANT) depending on your security settings you may encounter an Alert Message (see attached 'alert.gif' image). Since this style SEARCHES FOR and READS other styles, it has to be able to access "FileSystemObject". This style doesn't perform any malicious activities. But, of course, it's your right to trust it or not. In case of the former - choose "Authorize this script" (as on the image)
the following styles are not assignable: "Polystyle" (recursion not allowed), "Debug" (not a big loss)
by default "Default" style is assigned to all channels. So don't remove at least this one!
all stored data is put into MS database "polystyle.mdb" in "\Style\" folder.
if you want to reset all data in that database, simply reinstall the style (unzip it again)
I suppose there are "MS Data Access Components" on your system, which are needed for connecting to "polystyle.mdb" file (otherwise download MDAC from Microsoft)
created for my own needs, partly because FeedDemon still lacks such functionality (per-channel styles)
this is beta release of the style, so it can have bugs
feel free to do whatever you want with this style
