 * Hi Jeff! I’ve been using your plugin for some time now since I uninstalled another
   buggy (to say the least) theme switcher plugin, and yours works wonderfully, 
   thank you.
 * There is one suggestion I’d like to make though: would it be possible to switch
   theme and make it visible depending on a user’s role? Or to registered users 
   only?
 * Your plugin allows ‘these users to switch themes’ but I’d like to switch theme
   as an admin but make it visible to whomever I want.
 * Thank you for your help! 🙂

 * Hi [@alkorr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alkorr/), thanks for the great
   feedback. For the user-role functionality, it’s not something included with the
   plugin, however it would be possible to use a plugin such as [Private Content](https://wordpress.org/plugins/private-content/).
   That would enable you to wrap the Theme Switcha shortcode with something like:
 * `[private role="author"][theme_switcha_list display="list"][/private]`
 * And you can set the “role” on the private shortcode to whatever you would like.

 * Thank you Jeff for the tip, I will do that! 🙂
