6.x-1.0 should contain all necessary fixes to make SwitchTheme work for anonymous users. You can download that release from the project page.

I cannot understand why doesn't work on my site.

You must be patient I have some questions:

- Where the module has to be put: is it ok in /sites/all/modules?

- In readme.txt you write: ''Configure user permissions in administer >> Access control >''
Access control is a module of D5, isn't it? Is this step necessary? Can I configure the module only by the 'Switchtheme configuration' tab?

- In the Permission's page two options are given for the Switchtheme module (for auth. and anonym users): administer switch and switch theme; and above there is also the System module's 'select different theme' box.
Which box(es) must be selected?

- Does Switchtheme work with front_page enabled?

Thanks

1) Is covered in point 3. Upload the folder of the common installation instructions for all modules: http://drupal.org/node/70151 (as pointed to in the README)

2) "Access control" is called "Permissions" in Drupal 6. Just a different title. I've committed a fix for this.

3) I don't know exactly either, so please test and report back your findings. Basically, SwitchTheme should work without the "select different theme" permission - however, without that permission, Drupal will not automatically display the theme a user selected in a previous session and just display the default theme. If you enable the system permission, registered users will be able to configure a theme in their user account settings. Let me know what you find out and what needs to be clarified in the readme, please.

4) Don't know either, because I didn't use Switchtheme with front_page yet. So, please report back your findings.

I have no more problem with this module. I solved the issue simply publishing all on the web.
The problem was just on my local web server, due to mis-configuration of Apache, I guess...
Thanks a lot for the module and sorry for the time you've spent trying to give me the right answers.

Hi folks,
I just installed 6.x-1.0. It works fine when I am logged in but once I an logged out, the block is visible but the selection is not working. It stays with the default theme. Here is a link to my side: http://helitown.com/info/

Is there anything I have to do or any hints?
Thanks all.
