Description
Hi, I have the need to access the list of themes that are defined for blocktheme to integrate it with another module.
What I want is to be able to select which of the blockthemes to use when rendering a custom block. I am not declaring these blocks with hook_block so they can´t be configured with the admin interface.
I have found that the list of themes is generated in the hook_form_alter, which is impossible to reuse for another modules.
I have separated the part of creating the list of blockthemes into a separate function to be able to use it and I have a patch for this.
I hope this is commited as it´s very useful and does not affect the functionality.
thanks!!

Hi, I forgot to post the way I intend to use it.
Whith this patch it is possible to get all defined blockthemes with
$blockthemes = module_invoke('blocktheme', 'get_blockthemes');this variable can used to populate the options of a select list with Forms API like this
$selectlist = array('#type' => 'select',
'#options' => $blockthemes,
);
Hope this makes it more clear what my intentions are. As I said above, this does not affect functionality
