ThemeKey
ThemeKey is meant to be a generic theme switching module.
You want to switch the theme ...
... for different taxonomy terms?
... based on the node type?
... for different languages?
... based on the path?
... then ThemeKey is probably worth a try ;)
ThemeKey allows you to define simple or sophisticated Theme Switching Rules. Using these rules you are able to use a different theme depending on current path, taxonomy terms, language, node type and many many more properties. It can also be easily extended to support additional properties as exposed by other modules.
Current State
Project ThemeKey was unmaintained since April 2009. I (Markus Kalkbrenner) took over responsibility for this module on 2009-09-21.
November 2009 Carsten Müller joined the project as co maintainer.
It was a long hard fight with the code, the architecture and the old bugs in issue queue ;-)
But after a lot of alpha and beta releases we finally released ThemeKey 6.x-2.0 which is close to a complete rewrite of ThemeKey 6.x-1.x.
ThemeKey 6.x-3.0 is in alpha state now. It solves some minor architectural issues of ThemeKey 6.x-1.x which we did not target in 6.x-2.x. Additionally it should play well with internal and external page caches like boost or varnish even for anonymous users.
Feedback is welcome! Especially from long time users of ThemeKey ...
Documentation
After the installation of ThemeKey you'll be able to access a lot of documenation using drupal's built-in help system at /admin/help/themekey. It contains descriptions of all ThemeKey properties, some examples and tutorials. The tutorials are also available online at
