When institutions have a custom theme in Mahara, it is applied. However, what happens when you are a member of two or even more institutions? Which theme is chosen then?
It would be good for a user to be able to choose her default theme and not let Lady Fortuna ;-) decide that for her. E.g. if a teacher is a member of her school institution but at the same time also of an organizational community that both have custom themes, she may only want to see her school theme except when she is in a training session and during a presentation of her work in the community. At the moment, the organizational community's theme may always be the one that is visible which can be disadvantageous when she wants to demo her portfolio during school activities when everybody else has the school theme displayed.

Add config option to allow users to change their theme
Part of bug #793308
Adds a config.php option which lets users change their theme (for
browsing) via a drop-down on the Settings page. The allowed themes
are the same set accessible to the user when the viewthemes option is
availiable. Any theme which is restricted to one or more institutions
in its themeconfig.php file is not available in the drop-down unless
the user is a member of one of those institutions.
