"A proper design" doesn't identify a specific problem I could address, but I think we already discussed the proper conflict resolution method. What I suggested was that the themes are listed in an order, and later themes override earlier themes. Disabling any of the themes works by getting rid of all of them, then reloading the ones that remain enabled. You've already got the function which turns them all off. If you think it would be hard to write this, could you tell me which functions deal with this part of things? Then I will try.
