Enable a Drupal theme from a custom module

Sometimes you are required to enable a theme programmatically from a module without needing to do it manually all the time, so to do this I have used the hook_init() function to get a list of all the themes in Drupal which contains all the themes info.

Then I am using the name of the theme (the one in the .info file) and after checking if the status is disabled I call themeenable function and pass an array with the theme name I want to enable. The themeenable function accepts an array of theme names, so you are able to enable multiple themes at once.

function mymodule_init()
{
    $themes = list_themes(); //Get all the available themes
    if($themes['mythemename']->status == 0)
    {
            //if mythemename status is 0 i.e. disabled
        theme_enable(array('mythemename')); //enable theme
    }
}
