Hi all,
I am currently developing a site where on the landing page a user can kick a button where it will apply 1 of 2 themes until that button is clicked again. The theme must stay even if different pages are loaded.
I have been experimenting with the ThemeKey module (http://drupal.org/project/themekey) which is pretty amazing, but I cannot seem to define a set of rules which will allow this.
Any help would be great and thank you in advance. I am happy to explore other modules if need be but would rather stick to ThemeKey if it is achievable.

Here's how you can do it:
1) Create a block for your theme switcher:
Then you declare the form to switch language:
Finally, you set the theme to be used in hook_custom_theme:
You can now use your block that has been created, that will add a button with which the user can change the theme. A random theme will be applied and will be used until the button is pressed again.
Note that default_theme_name, theme_1, and theme_2 must all be enabled for this to work.

Hi Jaypan,

Thank you again for all your help, I really appreciate it!

You need to put it in a custom module. Have a read on how to create Drupal 7 modules: http://drupal.org/node/361112
You'll need to change 'my_module' in all the code I showed you, to your module key (machine name). You'll understand what this means when you read about hooks.

How can I change the button to an image that behaves like a button?
Again sorry for the ignorance on my behalf. This is really the first I have worked with PHP (although I did find your instructions to be very easy to follow...worked first time for me!)
