Couldn't it be possible to set a default theme for Quartz without making 
Quartz the default wiki yet?
I do plan to change the Wikia ACG wiki to Quartz sometime soon, but I 
don't want to do that till I'm finished customizing skins and finished 
QuartzSwitch and the Dark mod of my Box class for skins with dark 
content areas.
But I'd like to be able to set the default Quartz theme to custom so 
that those who have picked Quartz as their skin will see Quartz Custom 
instead of Quartz Smoke when I have customized a theme.
