In (info "(emacs) Custom Themes") after
Setting or saving Custom themes actually works by customizing the
variable ‘custom-enabled-themes’. The value of this variable is a list
of Custom theme names (as Lisp symbols, e.g., ‘tango’). Instead of
using the ‘*Custom Themes*’ buffer to set ‘custom-enabled-themes’, you
can customize the variable using the usual customization interface,
e.g., with ‘M-x customize-option’.
please add:
Here's how to set a theme depending on a condition:
(custom-set-variables
;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
(if(/= 0(user-uid)) '(custom-enabled-themes (quote (wheatgrass)))))
In the above we have added a condition to what Custom has put into the
customization file we found on our disk.
We set the wheatgrass theme if we are not root.
One could go further and set different themes for different seasons. The
sky's the limit!

It's an interesting idea, but if you later try to customize your
enabled theme further, you will lose the handwritten condition. Maybe
Customize could be improved to support this use case.

Yes, so I don't think we want to document anything along the lines
suggested.

I think that's beyond the scope of Customize, so I'm closing this bug
report.
