Description:
In the studio app there is no option to set the theme within the app. If you choose to enable a theme it will set that theme as yours and add it to the list of options in settings, but you cannot enable a theme more than once so you will have to go into settings to switch themes for testing.

Repro Steps:
1) Update a Aries to 20150614233012
2) Open the studio app
3) Make a new theme
4) Choose to Enable the theme
5) Repeat steps 3-4
6) Go back to the first theme in studio
7) Observe enable button grayed out

Actual:
User has to go to settings to change themes

Expected:
It is expected that users are able to change themes in the studio app

[Blocking Requested - why for this release]:
Functional issue of a main UX flow.

This doesn't look like it's in the spec : https://mozilla.app.box.com/s/2rfhpr44jj4hoaulpsmu5tn6z31t7wsf

Marking bug 1177748 since it seems to be roughly the same. I think the basic problem is that, as a user, I don't know what the Studio app is doing.

Having used Firefox OS as my only phone for over a 6 months I didn't even know themes existed so I had no idea that Studio was interacting with some themes feature. I thought Studio *was* the themes feature.

I also have no idea why I can only apply a theme with Studio once. What am I actually applying? A theme? A theme customization? It's just odd that I have a one-time Enable button and no way to disable whatever I did. Also, the coloring of the Enable button does not make it obvious when it has been disabled.

Brian, it really sucks that this is a problem for you. While we work on a solution, here's a workaround for now:

1. Connect WebIDE to the System app. Copy and paste the script below [1] to the Scratchpad, modify it so that `theme` is the name of the theme that you want to use, and run it.
  NOTE: Yes, as part of this step, you're deleting the theme that you want to use. Bear with me.
2. Open Studio, tap on the theme that you want to use, and then hit "Duplicate". Enter the same name as it already had.
3. You'll now see two instances of that theme in the main menu. Delete the first one.
4. Go back to the second one and enable it.

[1]
```js
// Change this to the name of the theme that you want to delete.
var theme = 'Solarized Light';
navigator.mozApps.mgmt.getAll().then(function(apps) {
  apps.forEach(function(app) {
    if (app.manifest.name === theme) {
      navigator.mozApps.mgmt.uninstall(app).onsuccess = function() {
        console.log('Successfully uninstalled ' + theme);
      };
    }
  });
});
```

Hubert, could you take a look at this?

I believe this is missing.

passing to J for comment. Thanks and sorry for the delay!

The expected result is correct here, only the currently active theme should have a disabled 'enable' button. If the user enables a second theme, the first theme becomes available and the enable button should be tappable.

Studio will not ship on by default in 2.5, so minusing the blocking flag.
