Description
Is it possible to auto-switch when a theme is selected and not have the "switch" button?

#1
Any thoughts?
#2
If you thought of a onChange-JavaScript-handler for the form select widget, then yes, that would be possible.
However, I don't have time to implement this right now, but would be available for reviewing (and committing) a patch.
#3
Here it is. I added some <br> tags to keep the <select> from overrunning following blocks; there's probably a better way to do that.
#4
This needs to degrade if JavaScript is not available. Which means that a patch for this issue most likely does not touch the .module file at all. It just adds a new JavaScript file containing a Drupal.behavior that removes the submit button and attaches the event handler.
On a second thought, I'm not sure whether this will break the layout/functionality of existing sites that use SwitchTheme. Maybe it has to be configurable setting then. Or maybe a notice in the release notes is sufficient... Not sure about that yet.
