That was my initial thought too, and I do have a toggle to turn it
on/off in the setup, but if it's not written to the db then each
"module" (eg mythweather, mythmusic) loads a different theme and that
(to me) just looks plain odd, I was going for the consistant look but
different theme each time you started the frontend.

I've just discovered gContext->SetSetting, which looks like it changes
the setting in the running config, but I'm not sure on that (I'm not
sure on anything to be honest). I guess now all I need to do is to tell
it to write the settings out to the db, I did try
AppearanceSettings.save(db) but that didn't seem to work. 

:D
