Public bug reported:

This is a follow-on wishlist item to bug #1632917.

When a user is in multiple institutions, the institution theme currently
selected in account settings is the one under which a page is created.
If the user switches institutions in the account settings, the page
theme is not updated to reflect that change.

That is good if the user wants to keep the other theme on the page in
order to distinguish pages created under different institutions.

This is bad though if the user created the page using the wrong
institution theme or wants to have all the pages in a particular theme
at some point.

There is no way to edit the institution theme. Furthermore, if the user
did want to differentiate pages created in different institutions,
they'd need to go to the account settings all the time.

It would be better to display the theme switcher on the page edit screen
when you are in multiple institutions so you can decide which theme to
use.

Or we could rethink page themes and skins altogether and try to merge
them.
