Maybe I don't understand, but it sounds like a bug. Or maybe a mis-use: custom themes *can* be stacked, so if you want to replace a previous theme with a new one, then you need to remove the old and add the new one. Maybe the UI needs some work to make it more clear (and make it easier to switch between themes). Stefan "who never used it"
