As long as the UI module is not completed, User Display API can be configured
by adding user display style definitions and classes to <code>settings.php</code>.

<strong>Structure and concept for user display styles:</strong>
<pre>
$conf = array(
  'user_display_styles' => array(
    1 => array(
      'name' => 'Picture only (medium)',
      'elements' => array(
        array('user_display_imagecache', array('user_medium')),
        array('user_display_onlinestatus'),
        array('user_display_links'),
      ),
    ),
  ),
);
</pre>
<ul>
<li>User display styles are needed on almost every page, thus using variables.</li>
<li>Styles must have ids to assign classes to them, thus the first assoc array.</li>
<li>Names for styles are cosmetical and solely used in the UI module.</li>
<li>Style elements can be ordered / re-arranged through the UI module, to render
  a user's name in front of a user's image aso.</li>
<li>First array value of an element is the name of a function to invoke. Second
  array value optionally contains an array of additional function arguments.
  In above example, this is the ImageCache preset to use for the display style.</li>
<li>The first two arguments to each element function are always <code>$account</code> and <code>$style</code>.</li>
</ul>

<strong>Structure and concept for user display styles:</strong>

  'user_display_classes' => array(
    'node_story_teaser_submitted' => 1,
    'user_block_online' => 1,
  ),
);
</pre>
<ul>
<li>This variable contains only those user display classes that have been assigned
  to user display styles.</li>
<li>The value of each class references a user display style id.</li>
