I’ll update myself …. it seems that only very old themes can’t be properly disabled … like adventure-jounal, arjuna-x, codium, twenty-ten … problem is that many of our users still use those themes … I we would like to prevent further usage …. (without deleting themes). any ideas … ?
Disabling a theme… You mean you removed it from the network activated theme list? If so, no, that doesn’t turn the theme off for anyone using it. You’ll need to manually change them to a different theme.

in wp_xy_options where value “option_name=allowedthemes” that had hardcoded (beats me why) which themes were “always allowed” and thus couldn’t be disabled. we removed that from all sites. it works now. case closed.

It’s not ‘hard coded’ – It’s an option you set by editing each theme directly. Works like this:
1) If a site has a theme active, it’s an ‘allowed’ theme
2) If a site has a theme set as ‘allowed’ via wp-admin -> Network -> Sites -> Edit Site -> Themes, it’s an ‘allowed’ theme
Otherwise, only network enabled themes are allowed.
So if you changed the network enabled themes, but a site was using that theme at that time, the theme remains allowed.
