I am looking for a bells and whistles CSS framework. I have found a number online that deal with "grids", and some that deal with "typography" and others that deal with "resetting".

What I have not found is something that will give my web applications a consistent reusable style or theme.

I guess it would have to have a number of predefined elements that do things, for example:

div.boxed {...}

And then a number of themes or plugins that provide these in a consistent way. Javascript toolkits like ExtJS, YUI, and also GWT have their own skinability, and I guess this is the featureset that I want, but independent of any Javascript library.

(Open source would be best, but we don't mind paying)

Edit: 5 good answers, but I have seen all those frameworks, and they are not enough of what I am looking for. Perhaps what I am looking for doesn't exist. Or I haven't explained properly. I will give them a good going over and see.

This is at the framework level, not dealing directly with CSS, so posting to SO.
