It's tough to use the (incredibly long) browscap list, because I have no idea what are the capabilities of each browser. What I need is a simple way to say:

  • If you can do proper CSS positioning without error, use this (tableless) theme
  • else if you can do tables, use that (table-based) theme.

Any chance of making the theme switchable based on browser capabilities, rather than specific browser?

How about expanding on that for browsers set with less than a certain screen width and whether it supports flash or not.

All of the given use-cases/reasonings are error-prone, because there are much saner approaches to do conditional styling/rendering than to entirely switch to another theme.

Additionally, this issue is rather about Browscap than about SwitchTheme.
