Hello paulie420!

You probably want to set your custom theme as the default theme for new users (Configuration --> General Settings --> Default Theme).

And perhaps stop Mystic from asking new users what theme they'd like (Configuration --> New User Settings 2 --> Ask Theme: No).

Users will still be able to select a theme of choice from the Account Settings menu unless you restrict usage for the theme you don't want them to use. For instance, if you don't want anyone to use the stock theme (the one in the "themes/default" directory), you can do so with Editors --> Theme/Prompt Editor --> default (or the theme(s) you want to disallow) --> List ACS: %
The % ACS will disallow everyone (including the SysOp).

Also note that you will have to change the selected theme for each and every existing user manually; Editor --> User Editor --> <username> --> 1 (Settings 1) --> Theme --> enter the theme directory name of your custom theme. If a user has a theme selected (e.g. the stock "default" one) to which he/she doesn't have access (as per the List ACS of the theme), Mystic will complain and disconnect the user on login, if I recall correctly.

Hope this helps! :)

Best regards
Zip
