Hi everyone,

I'm working on a website using Drupal 5.3 as a plain-old-CMS, and our designer has delivered templates that aren't suitable for use with Drupe's built-in forms and menus. Rather than hacking around this, I'd like for the custom theme to be used only by anonymous visitors viewing content, and for administrative users to see Garland, Chameleon, or one of the other excellent built-in themes.

Is this possible with Drupal's administrative settings? Where would a "theme switch" best be placed for this to happen? I'm an experienced PHP user, so I'm happy getting my hands dirty, but I'm only slightly familiar with the Drupal code base.

-mike.

Mike,

have the same challenge myself - was advised to look into the Role Theme Switcher module, which allows you to associate a theme with a role. However, I've had problems with it - and I've got an open issue that hasn't yet been picked up by the developer...

Here's my previous forum post requesting help on this:

Maybe this might provide a starting point for your efforts. If you do come up with something, I'd love to hear how you do it.
