Class show-on-focus not added to page until theme configured for first time

Jeff, I don't even have to save the settings for the change to take place. So there must be some code that is run when I simply navigate to the page - creating a cache of theme settings or something. I am seeking the programmatic equivalent of clicking configure and navigating to that page.

So is there any way to run this to add the theme settings to the variable table?

adaptivetheme_theme_get_default_settings('adaptivetheme_MyTheme');

Jeff,

I put the following code in my profile

  .
  .
  .
/**
 * Implementation of hook_profile_tasks().
 */
function raintree_profile_tasks(&$task, $url) {
  .
  .
  .
  // disable Garland and enable raintree_theme and set it as site default theme
  db_query("UPDATE {system} SET status = 0 WHERE type = 'theme' and name ='%s'", 'garland');
  db_query("UPDATE {system} SET status = 1 WHERE type = 'theme' and name ='%s'", 'adaptivetheme_raintree');
  variable_set('theme_default', 'adaptivetheme_raintree');

  // populate variable table with theme settings
  include_once(drupal_get_path('theme', 'adaptivetheme') .'/theme-settings.php');
  adaptivetheme_theme_get_default_settings('adaptivetheme');
  adaptivetheme_theme_get_default_settings('adaptivetheme_raintree');
  .
  .
  .

This helped to pre configure the theme variables so that the various classes were added to HTML page elements.

Can you comment if this looks like a reasonable approach?
