 * I have theme switcher on my site and several themes. How can I specify which 
   theme will be displayed when a new visitor comes to my site. In other words, 
   I need a default theme which is not (necessarily) the WP default. Thanks.

 * Could you specify the plugin that you are using?

 * I’m a bit lost though. You want a default that’s not the default?
