Bug Description

This is a follow-on wishlist item to bug #1632917.

When a user is in multiple institutions, the institution theme currently selected in account settings is the one under which a page is created. If the user switches institutions in the account settings, the page theme is not updated to reflect that change.

That is good if the user wants to keep the other theme on the page in order to distinguish pages created under different institutions.

This is bad though if the user created the page using the wrong institution theme or wants to have all the pages in a particular theme at some point.

There is no way to edit the institution theme. Furthermore, if the user did want to differentiate pages created in different institutions, they'd need to go to the account settings all the time.

It would be better to display the theme switcher on the page edit screen when you are in multiple institutions so you can decide which theme to use.

Or we could rethink page themes and skins altogether and try to merge them.
