<p>This theme demo / theme switcher plugin will add a bar to the top of your WordPress site listing every theme you have installed.  It gives visitors the ability to switch between themes and try out their look on your live site.</p>
<p>After installation it requires no set up, it just works.</p>
<p>If you would like to see any extensions to this theme switcher please don’t hesitate to contact me from my website or post something in the support section.  And, if you like it – please leave something nice in the review section!  The more popular this becomes the more likely I’ll be to work on giving it lots more extra awesome.</p>
<h4>Why another theme switcher?</h4>
<p>I built this theme switcher primarily for myself.  There are a number of other theme switchers out there but they all require visitors to click on a drop down menu then select a theme to demo or have some other complication and none of them had the clean, simple, minimal way of switching that I was hoping for in a theme switcher.  So I built this theme switcher to give visitors an instant list of all the themes I hope to develop which they will be able to demo in a single click, also it doesn’t need any set up so it’s very easy!</p>
<p>So, I imagine most of the people interested in this theme switcher would be theme developers but if there are any people who are really indecisive about how they want their website to look, I guess this could provide them with an interesting solution to the website design problem.  Let me know if you can think of any other uses for a theme switcher!</p>

<ul>
<li>Switch your theme to a mobile-ready theme if a mobile device is detected (you can now enable/disable iPad/tablets)</li>
<li>Manual Switcher – to allow your user to manually switch between desktop and mobile versions. Available in 3 versions: widget, option to automatically insert into footer, or template tag.</li>
<li>Template functions to help determine which tier of mobile device (touch/smartphone/other) is viewing your site, to allow conditional content inclusion.</li>
<li>Adds device and tier specific CSS selectors to the body_class, to allow conditional CSS (e.g. so in the same way you have “.single” that you can target “.iphone” or “.mobile-tier-touch”.)</li>
<li>Image transcoding – rescale images to fit their device</li>
</ul>
<p>See the Frequently Asked Questions for guidance on how to use the plugin.</p>

<h4>Mobile Theme</h4>
<p>Mobile Smart comes with a basic barebones (‘boilerplate’) theme that can be used by theme developers to develop for mobile devices.</p>
<p>The Mobile Smart boilerplate theme is based on two projects: http://html5boilerplate.com/mobile/ and http://html5reset.org/#wordpress<br />
with some additional Mobile Smart modifications.</p>
<p>Note: The theme is not designed to be used without developer modification.</p>

While the trend for many sites is towards responsive, there are still some valid use cases for delivering an alternative theme based on user agent detection and this plugin fits the bill.  
Dan has continued to support the plugin over the years which is also an important factor to consider.
