Feature Request: ability to change global theme from within app.

It might be nice to allow a button in the app to select the global theme from our own prepared options. A useful example would be for an app intended for outdoor use, that might have a night vision theme with black, dark gray, and red attributes, as opposed to a brighter high contrast theme for sunlight. Kind of like a css swap on a website.

Theme swapper - great idea!!! It would be a matter of: a) Creating a menu of themes b) Re-loading the app when one was selected, applying the new theme c) remembering the theme for next time so it used that theme until the user switched back The only challenge I can think of with this approach is the cases where a theme as been removed. If a user selected a theme, and the app remembered it, then the theme was removed, it's possible that the remembed theme would no longer be available. This just means that the app would need to be smart enough to figure out what theme to apply in this abnormal event. I love this idea, gonna move it up the list. I can already imagine the Settings - Theme Switcher screen. Cool. On another note, how many Dolphins did you swim with today? We have a TON of theme here but it's freezing cold and their nowhere near accessible in our giant blue bay ;-)

It was an exceptional day for dolphins yesterday. We can't swim with them, though, just observe from the boat, of course. But got to see lots of feeding behavior. Thanks for considering the theme switcher. I wouldn't say it's a high priority for me, just a random idea that I thought of when working on my theme.
