   So you want WP to automatically change a theme everyday?

   Yes. Randomly or in set rotation, doesn't matter to begin with because as with so much else, while I can't write something like that from scratch, if I get a working whatever I can change it....

   Well I would begin with the randomize plugin. Might need tweaking but shouldnt be difficult. Get it installed and we can have a look.

    The call is going to need to go in header.php.

    The Theme Switcher plugin could be adapted to randomly select a theme from the list of installed themes and set a cookie that expires in one day. To select a random theme, try:

    $themes = get_themes();
$theme = $themes[mt_rand(0, count($themes))];
