[Edit: right as I was going to send this, I see you seem to be thinking along similar lines.]
You're right that a dropdown with the names of every theme the user has ever used is both unwieldy and unhelpful. How about this: We replace the Options buttons with a page with the 5 MRU themes (perhaps "that have been used for more than 1 minute") and the default theme, each with a name, a thumbnail, and perhaps a link to the container page; and a link to the main theme gallery called "pick another theme" or "get more themes" or something. Click on a theme and it changes the current theme instantly, but doesn't reorder the list until you close the page. Or, instead of building this list in locally, we could build it in to the themes gallery. When you go there these MRU themes (and the default) are right on the first page. This can also help when you're trying to set up another machine with the theme you like and need to remember what it is. I hope you can understand why having the MRU themes at your fingertips can be convenient even if there is some way (the history page?) to try and find past themes. Incidentally, two other asks: * When "installing" a theme, give the user a way to switch back to the previous theme (e.g. an infobar). We currently have an option to switch back to the default theme, which is also useful, in different cases. Perhaps have both? * Don't leave crud (.crx files, anything in downloads directory, files in the user profile) on disk for previously installed themes. Clean them up. (Low priority.)
