I spent some time figuring this out about a month ago. I may be
missing a step but here's the quick answer.
1) In your app_controller set
var $view = 'Theme';
2) Somewhere in your beforeFilter or beforeRender you have to set the
theme you want to use.
$this->theme = 'whatever';
3) Cake will look for a folder called "themed" in your view path.
There you need a sub folder in themed for each theme with the same
name as used in step 2 ('whatever' in this case). app/views/themed/
whatever/
4) Cake will look in that path first for any views or layouts you
use. If they don't exist it defaults back to the normal views and
layouts (I think). So to use a themed layout create app/views/themed/
whatever/layouts/default.ctp.
Theming works pretty well, although my directions may not be complete.
