Use hook_init.
Here you can set:

global $custom_theme;
$custom_theme = $theme; // where $theme is your theme

In D7 use hook_custom_theme() or for more granularity set theme callbacks.

This is what I have used before, which changes the theme based on what is in the url. This code needs to be in your module file.

/**
* Implementation of hook_custom_theme().
*/
function yourmodule_custom_theme() {
	if (arg(1) == 'something') {
	  return 'mayo';
	}
}

Hi Bagz ,
Is 'mayo' the theme's name?

Yes, replace 'mayo' with the name of the theme you want to use. The theme must be one of the enabled themes.
