changing the default theme and propagating the setting to all users
Hi Piwigo Community,
Currently, when you change the setting [Administration > Configuration > Default display > Interface theme], it only applies to disconnected users.
I propose to modify this behavior and to apply the change to all registered users that have the same previous theme.
For example, {John, Sarah, Paul} are registered on your Piwigo installation. You have set the default interface theme to "yoga/clear". John and Sarah also use yoga/clear, but Paul uses yoga/dark. Then you change the default theme to yoga/Sylvia. I propose to also update John and Sarah theme setting to yoga/Sylvia (but not modify the setting for Paul).
What's your opinion?

Re: changing the default theme and propagating the setting to all users
That makes sense: the users who have not chosen a particuliar theme will then have the new default.

Re: changing the default theme and propagating the setting to all users
If you make it automaticly, the users may be lost in the new style, moreover if this style is deeply different than the other. The admin may also don't want to apply the theme to all user -> in option at least !
edit : I believed that it's apply to 'all user' not to 'users with the previous style', I have changed my msg

Re: changing the default theme and propagating the setting to all users
Changing the default...
Cases:
1 - Apply to all users.
2 - Apply to all previous users.
3 - Apply to new users.
4 - Apply to disconnected users.
1 - I can already do it.
2 - Sounds better.
3 - Apply to new users (normal).
4 - I did not notice that one as the current default option, I thought it was 3.
Due to Automatic reconnection, I am not sure it was working.
How did we make a diagnosis on "disconnected" or connected?
Anyway 2 will be better and maybe an unselected option (selected to force all users) will make things easier to understand than before.
