profile designer, profile tweaks to the next level (big project)

I started building this a long time ago using only the edit profile forms and template edits but quickly realized it needed to be its own self contained module.
basics:
1 most elements should be able to be given a background, box shadow border radius text size color font even text shadow maybe
it would require color picker and image picker
elements like wrapper content item can be individually styled easily and the module adds inline styles to those elements.

version 2.0 can introduce advanced mode allowing css direct input, opacity settings, (for layered semi transparent backgrounds)
it would have some more advanced direct select options but also alow direct css for stuff like transitions, or more advanced css

i dont think you can use smarty calls in css stylesheets directly but can use smarty calls to load user specific css files, or inject css into the elements themselves inline.
i've experimented with it on small scale on just a couple elements and really like it
as a full function module it would be so appreciated by many users.
i have a whole lot of ideas for it if you want

I tried building something similar to this, it worked by poping out a panel on the right of the screen. The panel had some basic color settings and an arrow tool that allowed you to click on it then click on anything on the page and adjust whatever styles it had.

The main issue with not releasing it is that there are already tools that do exactly this and do it better under normal web development techniques.

It feels like re-building what already exists.

Firebug you can already use to do that with, then you save your changes to the skins.

Its much nicer having CSS in file system files than it is having it in the database.

not everyone knows css or uses firebug or is techy enough to.
a simple switches doials and pick a color or photo interface that takes the css outof it and givesthe user juswt options
like profile photo offer border or box shadow . border radius with round corners 1em riund corners more 3 em make circular 50%
heading color (color picker
add text shadow (checkbox text shadow colr color picker text shadow placement the x y and what is it difuse settings

on the other hand for those who can use css can't we give the a option to add thier own stylesheets
i just think it would be awesome to have more control over profile design
