-1 -- sorry, but I feel that we should use a different method for this
sort of thing.  Any theme that is checked in the admin-> themes screen
should be selectable by users.  Modules should get their list of
available themes from list_themes(), which provides a list of all
available themes, not just those that are selected for use by users.

>From the forum thread How To Prevent Users From Changing The Theme.  I
asked:


"
I'm working on a module that uses organic groups. I want to allow
different groups to choose different themes, but I don't want
individual users to have that capability.


I'm assuming that this is easy to do, but I can't find a setting. Can
anybody point me in the right direction?


Thanks,
Rob


"
At sepeck's suggestion, I'm submitting a patch to do this.  It's
against 4.6.0, and modifies theme.inc and system.module.  It creates a
variable 'configurable_user_themes' which defaults to "enabled"
(4.6.0's current behavior), and if activated, makes system.module
remove the UI for selected a theme, and also causes theme.inc to ignore
any setting for $user->theme if it exists.

Didn't set this to "patch" initially, so I'm including the patch again. 
Not sure what the procedure is just yet.
