 * Hi I’ve installed Alex’s Style Switcher plugin and on the whole it works very
   well. I can change themes, I’ve set the default theme and so on.
    I have found
   a quirk though and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts. I have set my default
   theme per the readme by putting the style name as an argument in `index.php` :`
   @import url( <?php wp_stylesheet("dots"); ?> );` I have removed the cookie for
   my site. When I go to the front page I see my selected theme. If I then do a 
   browser refresh and it returns to the default theme. The reason appears to be
   is that the newly created cookie has ` wpstyle wp-default  as the first two lines.
   The problem appears to occur because a cookie is being created before the theme
   is set (or at the same time, not knowing how php or wordpress works under the
   covers). Looking closely at the plugin file I note that the function wp_style_cookie();
   is being called. My guess is that when you load a page, the plugins are checked,
   as the style switcher is active, its loaded and as there is no cookie it creates
   one with the wp-default theme set, the page is then loaded with the override 
   set in index.php, when a refresh occurs the process starts again but this time
   there is a cookie and its style is used instead? Rob

 * FWIW, it seems to be working for me?
    I just went and set it to Dots and it stayed?
   Let me go try again. …few seconds later. Yes, it still stayed as the newly changed
   one. p.s. Where did you find that plugin? Hope your problem was solved?
