 * I have successfully used this plugin with the url to change themes, but would
   prefer to use the esw_set_theme function and a dropdown select form element as
   I plan to have many themes to choose from.
    I’m a PHP newbie and this has been
   stumping me for many days. The themes are my own and I’m adding the code directly
   to the footer.php file (not using a widget). Thanks.

 * Ok, I was able to convert my theme menu list (using the url method) to a dropdown
   select type menu using this technique: [http://css-tricks.com/convert-menu-to-dropdown/](http://css-tricks.com/convert-menu-to-dropdown/)(
   using jQuery). See the footer of [http://cyberkitty.net](http://cyberkitty.net).
 * I am still interested in understanding how I would use the esw_set_theme function
   though. Can this be done without jQuery?
