How to get current theme name in Magento

Question

In magento i am trying to get current theme or package name but not found anything. I used getSkinUrl(') but it's return skin path not package or theme name.please help me how i can get theme or package name.

Answer 1

Current Package

Mage::getSingleton('core/design_package')->getPackageName()

Current Theme (frontend)

Mage::getSingleton('core/design_package')->getTheme('frontend')

Answer 2

Please note that the above answer by @Drew Hunter is not entirely correct. While getTheme() is the desired function call, the string 'frontend' is not an accepted parameter for this method. The only allowed values for this method are:

• locale
• layout
• template
• default
• skin

That is to say, the correct usage of this function is one of the following lines:

Mage::getSingleton('core/design_package')->getTheme()
Mage::getSingleton('core/design_package')->getTheme('locale')
Mage::getSingleton('core/design_package')->getTheme('layout')
Mage::getSingleton('core/design_package')->getTheme('template')
Mage::getSingleton('core/design_package')->getTheme('default')
Mage::getSingleton('core/design_package')->getTheme('skin')

Failing to use the method in this manner will always return the string 'default'.

Unexpected Results

Incorrect usage will produce logic errors. An example of this is if you have a 'Matched Expression' defined to specifically target mobile devices.

Mage::getSingleton('core/design_package')

references the following class

Mage_Core_Model_Design_Package

By looking at the 'getTheme()' method in this class you will notice possible options you can pass this method, they are 'locale', 'layout', 'template', 'default' and 'skin'.

Therefore, if a particular store had 'Matched Expression' for 'template' like the following

iPhone|iPod|Mobile|mobile > mobile

The following may happen

Mage::getSingleton('core/design_package')->getTheme('frontend') RETURNS 'default'
Mage::getSingleton('core/design_package')->getTheme('template') RETURNS 'mobile'

Answer 3

Since

Mage::getSingleton('core/design_package')

is equivalent of

Mage::getDesign()

Drew's examples can be shorten to:

Mage::getDesign()->getPackageName()

and

Mage::getDesign()->getTheme('frontend')

Answer 4

here the another way:

$package = Mage::getStoreConfig('design/package/name');
$skin_name = Mage::getStoreConfig('design/theme/skin');
