permissions to have a different theme than a site wide theme, that is a user
specific theme. The themes that they are allowed to pick are
controlled by which themes are enabled in admin/build/themes. If you only
have one theme enabled, then the user will not see the choice regardless of
permission. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

by the "admister site configuration" theme. You may find it strange,
but I guess there just haven't been enough use cases where you'd let
someone change atheme, but not hte site slogan or title to justify the feature
request. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

sub-items of site configuration in order to change the theme which is
under site building.
That one checkbox allows the role to do *everything* in site
configuration, which is not what Leonard is looking for.
And then why is there a separate permission to "select different theme"
under System Module in permissions? If I check the "administer site
configuration" permission and /uncheck/ "select different theme" the
user can still change & configure the site-wide theme.
"huh?@!"

see att'd screenshot of an account page (the theme is Abarre but i tested with
other themes applied site-wide and there still is no button or link to change
the theme on the user's account page)<BR><BR>kazar<BR><BR><IMG alt=""
