I read his request to mean that he wants for users to be able to
quickly change the overall look and feel of their app, as opposed to
being able to change from xhtml to simple theme in struts. In a case
like that, you can construct a link that will trigger sitemesh to
choose a different decorator. SiteMesh delegates the choice of
decorator to decorator mappers, and one if them, the
ParameterDecoratorMapper makes it pretty easy to allow users to change
their decorator.
As far as you question, sitemesh does not install to the template
folder... I figured that when the OP asked about templates, he wasn't
necessarily talking about Struts2 templates. If he was, I don't think
his problem is best solved with the Struts2 tag templating.

could you explain how sitemesh installs to (presumably the) template folder?
which sitemesh parameters are configurable?
thanks,
Martin

There are a number of different ways to do what you want. If you are
just looking to be able to change a few buttons, I don't know if I
would add the complexity of a templating framework. However, if you
have the time and want to learn something that is likely to be very
useful on future projects, then I would suggest learning how to use
Sitemesh. Sitemesh can help you to create a fully themeable
application.

There is a sitemesh plugin for struts2 and I've used it on a number of
projects.
