If you want to Set package and theme at run time in magento simply use this code snippet.

1. create one function ex. changeTheme('Theme-name'); and run this function with your requirement

2. add this function in your head.phtml after php start.

    function changeTheme($themeName)
    {
      Mage::getDesign()->setArea('frontend') //Area (frontend|adminhtml)
                       ->setPackageName('default') //Name of Package
                       ->setTheme($themeName); // Name of theme
    }
   

enjoy :)

You can set your theme programmatically by using the following code :

Mage::getDesign()->setArea('frontend') //Area (frontend|adminhtml)
    ->setPackageName('default') //Name of Package
    ->setTheme('modern'); // Name of theme

You can write below code in action to set package and theme for the action:

Mage::getDesign()->setArea(‘frontend’) //Area (frontend|adminhtml)
    ->setPackageName(‘default’) //Name of Package
    ->setTheme(‘modern’); // Name of theme

You may write the code in layout handler to set theme:

<reference name=”root”>
    <action method=”setTheme”>
        <theme>modern</theme>
    </action>
</reference>

Change page layout:

<reference name=”root”>
    <action method=”setTemplate”>
        <template>page/1column.phtml</template>
    </action>
</reference>

I hope it will surely help you.
