Thanks, you're right, it works. I was fooled by the theme names
missing from the output of theme_names(). The pixmap themes only appear
in theme_names() after they have been loaded once, which seems a little
odd to me. It would be nice if themes that are installed somewhere in
auto_path would be returned by theme_names() automagically, so an
application could show a list of installed themes and the user can pick
one.

Regards

Michael
