Description

First of all thanks for a great module! I've got one basic theme with a number of color schemes that I want users to be able to choose and change easily, so your module was perfect.

However I don't really like using drop down boxes because they are difficult to theme to fit into some color schemes and am trying to create a custom block with a simple list of links instead. Is that possible with switchtheme module?

I't be great if someone could point me in the right direction with the code!

PS am I asking this in the right place?!

Ok to answer both my questions:

1) Yes it is possible. It's actually very easy as you can change theme via the URL eg. www.example.com/?theme=mythemename.

2) Probably not.

Thanks again for the module.

Feature request for configuring Switchtheme to display either:

- the dropdown select box
- a bulleted list of links
- a vertical/horizontal list of theme thumbnail image links

This is probably a reasonable request, but I don't have time to work on it for a while. I someone submits a patch, I'd look at it.

Probably best placed into a new page, f.e. in /choose-theme or the like.

Regarding the switchtheme blocks, it wouldn't really make sense to display multiple theme names or thumbnails.
