I am using this wonderful module to re-orgazine visually all my ADMIN sections. I've created sections by using dedicated themes for ADMIN/BUILD, ADMIN/CONTENT, ADMIN/SETTINGS, CIVICRM, NODE/ADD, USER, ADS, REPORTS, STORE, etc.

The only problem? The theme for ADMIN/SETTINGS does not appear in quite a number of contribute module ADMIN/SETTINGS pages. Here's a list of the problem modules I've isolated so far:

admin/settings/onepageprofile
admin/settings/ed_readmore
admin/settings/quotes
admin/settings/taxonomy_vtn
admin/settings/theme_editor
admin/settings/vertical-tabs

So, I wanted all the following pages to use the same theme:

admin
admin/build
admin/build/*
admin/settings
admin/settings/*
devel
devel/*

but the aforementioned pages break, and even with the following setup it still doesnt work:

admin
admin/build
admin/build/*
admin/settings
admin/settings/*
admin/settings/onepageprofile
admin/settings/ed_readmore
admin/settings/quotes
admin/settings/taxonomy_vtn
admin/settings/theme_editor
admin/settings/vertical-tabs
devel
devel/*

(yes, I know it's redundant. take it as an act of desperation)

FWIW:I have NOT set a default "ADMIN THEME" in ADMIN/SETTINGS/ADMIN because I dont want all ADMIN pages controlled by one theme and by setting a default, I have a clash.

Any clues on how to solve this would be amazing. "Forcing" a PAGE.TPL.PHP on the unchanged pages doesnt work in this case because whereas the main's site base theme is my fork of ARTHEMIA, these admin section themes are being tested with POLPO and TWILIGHT (am actually leaning on using TWILIGHT as my base ADMIN interface).

It's also the reason I had to exorcise the installation from the contrib module ADMINISTRATION THEME. love the module but it harshes on PAGE THEME's mellow.

Am wondering if I am going to have to specify each and every ADMIN/SETTINGS path for this to work.

And FWIW, this problem is happening with Drupal 6.16 on a XAMPP localhost (Apache/2.2.11 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.11 OpenSSL/0.9.8i PHP/5.2.9, MySQL 5.1.33)

On my sites it works as expected. No problems with redundant pages or Administration theme settings.

It's difficult to say why the module in your case doesn't work. But it seems like that on some pages the page theme settings will be overridden by a subsequent module.

I released a new module http://drupal.org/project/devel_info. It displays the value of $theme_key and $custom_theme and module's call-up list on each page.

please, provide the information here

I had the same problem. Administration Theme stopped working of the module. Suprisingly not on all pages - some pages worked, some not. But when I changed AT to "system default" - it started to work again.

that's strange for me. I would like to fix it but cannot reproduce it.

Please enable Custom Theme block of Devel Info module and check the custome theme value on each page which won't work properly.

And post list of enabled modules includes modules weight here by using Module List block.
