Sorry, I knew I should have explained that better. If you want to use a different theme for a change of pace, you can't in MLO. The reason is that the background colors in your automatic formatting rules need to match the ones in your theme.
If you change the theme, the background colors in your automatic formatting rules haven't changed. So you would need to manually change them to make them match the new theme. If the Automatic formatting rules were stored in the Theme, then you can have unique automatic formatting rules for each of your themes. Hope that explains it better.
